CHAPTER 54
“TRAPPED!" 1 THOUGHT to
myself, Locked In from below, our :
only hope was to reach the top and
get the door open into the temple—
and air. if we couldn’t reach the top '
we -/ere “gone geese” for the six of
us breathing it, we would eventually
use ail the oxygen which had been
driven (mo the tunneL
Even now 1 wake up sometimes
of a night in a bath of cold perspira
tion feeling again that agony of suf
focation. that I knew then—locked
In the rock heart of grim old Tarea.
We were remembering those black
sinister footprints on the white sand
ot the beach. “There will be death
here again within three days." Pauo
bad said. This was the third day.
We were all moving slower, our
lungs fighting for air. Not one of us
but what realized fully the terror of
our situation, but no one spoke of
It. Punic was riding all of us. but
we didn't voice It. We men didn’t
dare let go. for the women were
drawing moral support from us—the
stronger animals. 1 felt light-headed.
“How much farther?" 1 whispered
to Tom. He turned his light up the
winding tunnel all we could see
where the electric beam stabbed the
blackness was steps and more steps.
Would they never end?
Tom bad quit counting now. He
was saving his breath. The matches
were flaming weakly, and the least
Jar snuffed the flame out. That flame
couldn’t live without oxygen—and
neither could we. 1 had been count
ing the steps automatically In my
mind after Tom bad stopped count
ing aloud. We were up te nearly
800 now.
“Shall we send the girts back?
There Is more air there lower down."
1 rasped to Tom. He stopped, turned
his electric beam on them. Their
faces told of the fight they were
making. Tense faces with wide,
frightened eyes. They realized what
we were facing—death from suffo
catior here in the stone heart of this
ghost-ridden Island. Were we all to
Join the ghostly parade which inhab
ited this land dot of the Pacific?
“You girls better go back!" Tom
wheezed to them. The only answer
was a negative shake of all three
heads. Terrified they might be. but
they were gamely fighting back their
panic.
I made & quick mental calcula
tion. The temple. Pauo had said,
was 400 feet up. We had already
climbed 500 steps. Those Btepß must
have * , ’«n about nine Inches high. It
couldn’t be so much farther.
It was a time for instant decision
To hesitate now was to be lost. Liv
ingston was a terrible menace, but
this simple problem in elementary
chemistry was Inexorable—we could
not continue to live without oxygen.
The time would be brief now until
unconsciousness would suck the last
remaining strength from our bodies
and blot out otrr thinking.
Death would follow close behind—
the wings of that dark angel were
close on us at that second. Tom
threw his electric beam ahead again.

We each took one or tns gins’ arms l
to help as best we could, and pain- :
fully we continued to climb.
We must be close to the top now
If we could only hold out until we
could get to that door. Then a terri
fying thought seized me in its
clammy grip, more hideous than
those which hat* gone before —sup-
pose we couldn t get that door Into
the *cmple open. I remembered that
tor a hundred years it had been
closed. We had to fight with all our
strength to open the lower panel.
Down there In the fresh air we could
fill our iurvgs with great gulpn as
we strained. Up here, suffocating,
we wouldn't have that strength It
was all we could do now to lift one
foot above the other, to gain the next
step.
1 tried another match. It barely
flamed at aIL We were staggering
drunkenly. bot we kept going! We
had to! It was our only chance.
We couldn't turn back here —it was
too lata We could never have gotten
down to that lower smoke filled air
that had been driven in. Our only
hope lay ahead! The top must be
closer. But where was It?
We had no landmarks to tell os.
For all we knew we might be only
half-way up. None of ua had ever
been up there befora This path
might be curving off —spiraling God
alone knew where! Fighting to their
utmost, the girls were beginning to
sag now.
Then Tom's vtectric torch beam
stabbing (he blackneaa picked It out
—that panel door which led Into the
temple. It must have been 20 steps
up. New hop* surged through us
Those few feet of climb seemed al
most Impossible. The terror of
desperation whipped our dying mus
cles and we staggered up. Then we
were there. Wovtd that door stick?
Tom threw his beam on the lock
ing device. Holmes and I -eeled over
beside him and the three of us drew
the stone bolt, and then threw our
combined weight, against the panel.
It swung so easily, protected and dry
as it was. that we fell sprawling out
on the floor of the temple and Into
the life-giving fresh air. The wom
en staggered behind. Weakly we
sank down and gulped the air. and
gradually our brains began to clear
and strength flood back through our
nervea and musclea
“Good thing we weren't playing
horseshoes where 'close' would
count," Pllly said weakly a couple
minutes later. We all grinned at
the sally. Good gal. that? She had
just stared death—tn horrible form
in the eye—and she could still be
funny.
For a couple of minutes we each
: stretched out and with closed eyes
’ filled our lungs slowly to capacity
I and exhaled slowly—charging those
. red corpuscles of the blood with their
I supply of oxygen,
t Gradually that terrible sense of
* suffocation passed. I opened my
eyes and my gaze fell on the oarv
- Inga on that vaulted ceiling of the
5 temple. That ceiling was a solid bas
i relief of Intricate design, and pattern.

from the solid rock, must have been
100 feet in length and some 60 feet
wide. Just the width of the front en

Sunlight streamed in from the wide
eastern door—bathing that great fig
ure of the god. Nu. In sha.-p sil

morning sun.
Glancing about me I saw that
Tom. Holmes and the girls were like
wise studying the temple. Shakily I
got to my feet, and the others fol
lowed. Together then we walked
slowly around to the front of that
ancient stone god. so old that history
had lost his beginnings.
Hitting there on his throne the fig
ure must have towered a good twelve
feet from the floor and totaled a ton
of weight for each foot of height. It
was the face of the idol which held
the eye.
There close to the eastern door,
with the sunlight of a new day pour
ing over It. there was something
about that giant face at once bland,
malignant and impassive. How many
millions of mornings such as this
had Nu watched flow past.
Blind, now this last century, since
that great Jewel-eye had been in
solently taken by a Whitney, he
could only sit tn the sun and feel its
warmth. And for this Insult that god
of gods of all Polynesia had wreaked
vengence on the Whitney line F‘v#

fancifully if Nu could feel her pres

looked involuntarily at that little
empty cup in the forehead from
which the eye had been plundered.
Silly? Probably* I glanced around
at the others to get their reactions,
to s4e if I was the only one that
sensed that peculiar feeling. There
was something in the very atmos
phere of the place. I saw it had
them, too They were all quietly
studying the great image Nc one
was talking Strange things happen
, in these latitudes which science is
a bit backward about satisfactorily
. explaining. It Is no explanation. I
I remembered, to simply deny there
existence.
Then we looked out the wide door
I to the glittering world of water that
lay hundreds of feet below us. There
, <m the plaza stood that great stone
altar, where countless thousand ot
i lives had been snuffed out to appease
( and assuage the wrath of that ugly
, linage during the limitless flow ot
that illusion—time Snuffed out

other Whitney for Nu.
