But the n*'\1 moment they per- . eeived that w hat they had taken for a precipice was a river, inky black, a swift and perfectly soundless stream rushing through tin* cavern from slcle to side of tin* mountain, It emerged through a low tunnel In the-rock and disappeared tliroiiikh an other, barely two feet in height, upon tin* other side. And the roaring that they heard was not caused by this stream within the cave, but by some Blstanf jaitii’i act, either beyond the mountain or deep within Hie bowels Rathway laughed like a hyena as he saw Leo disappear in the swift waters'of the torrent.
