( CHAPTER TWELVE - Continued )
There was a long, breathless silence. Ralph found that he had bark in his mouth from the gnawed1 spear. He stood and peered upwards2 to the Castle Rock.
"Heave! Heave! Heave!"
The red rock that he could see at the top of the cliff vanished like a curtain, and he could see figures and blue sky. A moment later the earth jolted5, there was a rushing sound in the air, and the top of the thicket6 was cuffed7 as with a gigantic hand. The rock bounded on, thumping9 and smashing toward the beach, while a shower of broken twigs10 and leaves fell on him. Beyond the thicket, the tribe was cheering.
Silence again.
Ralph put his fingers in his mouth and bit them. There was only one other rock up there that they might conceivably move; but that was half as big as a cottage, big as a car, a tank. He visualized11 its probable progress with agonizing12 clearness―that one would start slowly, drop from ledge13 to ledge, trundle across the neck like an outsize steamroller.
"Heave! Heave! Heave!"
Ralph put down his spear, then picked it up again. He pushed his hair back irritably14, took two hasty steps across the little space and then came back. He stood looking at the broken ends of branches.
Still silence.
He caught sight of the rise and fall of his diaphragm and was surprised to see how quickly he was breathing. Just left of center his heart-beats were visible. He put the spear down again.
"Heave! Heave! Heave!"
Something boomed up on the red rock, then the earth jumped and began to shake steadily16, while the noise as steadily increased. Ralph was shot into the air, thrown down, dashed against branches. At his right hand, and only a few feet away, the whole thicket bent17 and the roots screamed as they came out of the earth together. He saw something red that turned over slowly as a mill wheel. Then the red thing was past and the elephantine progress diminished toward the sea.
Ralph knelt on the plowed-up soil, and waited for the earth to come back. Presently the white, broken stumps18, the split sticks and the tangle19 of the thicket refocused. There was a kind of heavy feeling in his body where he had watched his own pulse.
Silence again.
Yet not entirely20 so. They were whispering out there; and suddenly the branches were shaken furiously at two places on his right. The pointed21 end of a stick appeared. In panic, Ralph thrust his own stick through the crack and struck with all his might.
"Aaa-ah!"
His spear twisted a little in his hands and then he withdrew it again.
"Ooh-ooh―"
Someone was moaning outside and a babble22 of voices rose. A fierce argument was going on and the wounded savage23 kept groaning24. Then when there was silence, a single voice spoke25 and Ralph decided26 that it was not Jack's.
"See? I told you―he's dangerous."
The wounded savage moaned again.
What else? What next?
Ralph fastened his hands round the chewed spear and his hair fell. Someone was muttering, only a few yards away toward the Castle Rock. He heard a savage say "No!" in a shocked voice; and then there was suppressed laughter. He squatted27 back on his heels and showed his teeth at the wall of branches. He raise his spear, snarled28 a little, and waited.
Once more the invisible group sniggered. He heard a curious trickling29 sound and then a louder crepitation as if someone were unwrapping great sheets of cellophane. A stick snapped and he stifled30 a cough. Smoke was seeping31 through the branches in white and yellow wisps, the patch of blue sky overhead turned to the color of a storm cloud, and then the smoke billowed round him.
Someone laughed excitedly, and a voice shouted.
"Smoke!"
He wormed his way through the thicket toward the forest, keeping as far as possible beneath the smoke. Presently he saw open space, and the green leaves of the edge of the thicket. A smallish savage was standing32 between him and the rest of the forest, a savage striped red and white, and carrying a spear. He was coughing and smearing33 the paint about his eyes with the back of his hand as he tried to see through the increasing smoke. Ralph launched himself like a cat; stabbed, snarling34, with the spear, and the savage doubled up. There was a shout from beyond the thicket and then Ralph was running with the swiftness of fear through the undergrowth. He came to a pig-run, followed it for perhaps a hundred yards, and then swerved35 off. Behind him the ululation swept across the island once more and a single voice shouted three times. He guessed that was the signal to advance and sped away again, till his chest was like fire. Then he flung himself down under a bush and waited for a moment till his breathing steadied. He passed his tongue tentatively over his teeth and lips and heard far off the ululation of the pursuers.
There were many things he could do. He could climb a tree; but that was putting all his eggs in one basket. If he were detected, they had nothing more difficult to do than wait.
If only one had time to think!
Another double cry at the same distance gave him a clue to their plan. Any savage balked36 in the forest would utter the double shout and hold up the line till he was free again. That way they might hope to keep the cordon37 unbroken right across the island. Ralph thought of the boar that had broken through them with such ease. If necessary, when the chase came too close, he could charge the cordon while it was still thin, burst through, and run back. But run back where? The cordon would turn and sweep again. Sooner or later he would have to sleep or eat―and then he would awaken38 with hands clawing at him; and the hunt would become a running down.
What was to be done, then? The tree? Burst the line like a boar? Either way the choice was terrible.
A single cry quickened his heart-beat and, leaping up, he dashed away toward the ocean side and the thick jungle till he was hung up among creepers; he stayed there for a moment with his calves39 quivering. If only one could have quiet, a long pause, a time to think!
And there again, shrill and inevitable40, was the ululation sweeping41 across the island. At that sound he shied like a horse among the creepers and ran once more till he was panting. He flung himself down by some ferns. The tree, or the charge? He mastered his breathing for a moment, wiped his mouth, and told himself to be calm. Samneric were somewhere in that line, and hating it. Or were they? And supposing, instead of them, he met the chief, or Roger who carried death in his hands?
"Think."
What was the sensible thing to do?
There was no Piggy to talk sense. There was no solemn assembly for debate nor dignity of the conch.
"Think."
Most, he was beginning to dread43 the curtain that might waver in his brain, blacking out the sense of danger, making a simpleton of him.
A third idea would be to hide so well that the advancing line would pass without discovering him.
He jerked his head off the ground and listened. There was another noise to attend to now, a deep grumbling44 noise, as though the forest itself were angry with him, a somber45 noise across which the ululations were scribbled46 excruciatingly as on slate47. He knew he had heard it before somewhere, but had no time to remember.
Break the line.
A tree.
Hide, and let them pass.
A nearer cry stood him on his feet and immediately he was away again, running fast among thorns and brambles. Suddenly he blundered into the open, found himself again in that open space―and there was the fathom-wide grin of the skull48, no longer ridiculing49 a deep blue patch of sky but jeering50 up into a blanket of smoke. Then Ralph was running beneath trees, with the grumble51 of the forest explained. They had smoked him out and set the island on fire.
Hide was better than a tree because you had a chance of breaking the line if you were discovered.
Hide, then.
He wondered if a pig would agree, and grimaced52 at nothing. Find the deepest thicket, the darkest hole on the island, and creep in. Now, as he ran, he peered about him. Bars and splashes of sunlight flitted over him and sweat made glistening53 streaks54 on his dirty body. The cries were far now, and faint.
At last he found what seemed to him the right place, though the decision was desperate. Here, bushes and a wild tangle of creeper made a mat that kept out all the light of the sun. Beneath it was a space, perhaps a foot high, though it was pierced everywhere by parallel and rising stems. If you wormed into the middle of that you would be five yards from the edge, and hidden, unless the savage chose to lie down and look for you; and even then, you would be in darkness―and if the worst happened and he saw you, then you had a chance to burst out at him, fling the whole line out of step and double back.
Cautiously, his stick trailing behind him, Ralph wormed between the rising stems. When he reached the middle of the mat he lay and listened.
The fire was a big one and the drum-roll that he had thought was left so far behind was nearer. Couldn't a fire outrun a galloping55 horse? He could see the sun-splashed ground over an area of perhaps fifty yards from where he lay, and as he watched, the sunlight in every patch blinked at him. This was so like the curtain that flapped in his brain that for a moment he thought the blinking was inside him. But then the patches blinked more rapidly, dulled and went out, so that he saw that a great heaviness of smoke lay between the island and the sun.
If anyone peered under the bushes and chanced to glimpse human flesh it might be Samneric who would pretend not to see and say nothing. He laid his cheek against the chocolate-colored earth, licked his dry lips and closed his eyes. Under the thicket, the earth was vibrating very slightly; or perhaps there was a sound beneath the obvious thunder of the fire and scribbled ululations that was too low to hear.
Someone cried out. Ralph jerked his cheek off the earth and looked into the dulled light. They must be near now, he thought, and his chest began to thump8. Hide, break the line, climb a tree―which was the best after all? The trouble was you only had one chance.
Now the fire was nearer; those volleying shots were great limbs, trunks even, bursting. The fools! The fools! The fire must be almost at the fruit trees―what would they eat tomorrow?
Ralph stirred restlessly in his narrow bed. One chanced nothing! What could they do? Beat him? So what? Kill him? A stick sharpened at both ends.
The cries, suddenly nearer, jerked him up. He could see a striped savage moving hastily out of a green tangle, and coming toward the mat where he hid, a savage who carried a spear. Ralph gripped his fingers into the earth. Be ready now, in case.
Ralph fumbled56 to hold his spear so that it was point foremost; and now he saw that the stick was sharpened at both ends.
The savage stopped fifteen yards away and uttered his cry.
Perhaps he can hear my heart over the noises of the fire. Don't scream. Get ready.
The savage moved forward so that you could only see him from the waist down. That was the butt57 of his spear. Now you could see him from the knee down. Don't scream.
A herd58 of pigs came squealing59 out of the greenery behind the savage and rushed away into the forest. Birds were screaming, mice shrieking60, and a little hopping61 thing came under the mat and cowered62.
Five yards away the savage stopped, standing right by the thicket, and cried out. Ralph drew his feet up and crouched63. The stake was in his hands, the stake sharpened at both ends, the stake that vibrated so wildly, that grew long, short, light, heavy, light again.
The ululation spread from shore to shore. The savage knelt down by the edge of the thicket, and there were lights flickering64 in the forest behind him. You could see a knee disturb the mold. Now the other. Two hands. A spear.
A face.
The savage peered into the obscurity beneath the thicket. You could tell that he saw light on this side and on that, but not in the middle―there. In the middle was a blob of dark and the savage wrinkled up his face, trying to decipher the darkness.
The seconds lengthened65. Ralph was looking straight into the savage's eyes.
Don't scream.
You'll get back.
Now he's seen you. He's making sure. A stick sharpened.
Ralph screamed, a scream of fright and anger and desperation. His legs straightened, the screams became continuous and foaming66. He shot forward, burst the thicket, was in the open, screaming, snarling, bloody67. He swung the stake and the savage tumbled over; but there were others coming toward him, crying out. He swerved as a spear flew past and then was silent, running. All at once the lights flickering ahead of him merged68 together, the roar of the forest rose to thunder and a tall bush directly in his path burst into a great fan-shaped flame. He swung to the right, running desperately69 fast, with the heat beating on his left side and the fire racing70 forward like a tide. The ululation rose behind him and spread along, a series of short sharp cries, the sighting call. A brown figure showed up at his right and fell away. They were all running, all crying out madly. He could hear them crashing in the undergrowth and on the left was the hot, bright thunder of the fire. He forgot his wounds, his hunger and thirst, and became fear; hopeless fear on flying feet, rushing through the forest toward the open beach. Spots jumped before his eyes and turned into red circles that expanded quickly till they passed out of sight. Below him someone's legs were getting tired and the desperate ululation advanced like a jagged fringe of menace and was almost overhead.
He stumbled over a root and the cry that pursued him rose even higher. He saw a shelter burst into flames and the fire flapped at his right shoulder and there was the glitter of water. Then he was down, rolling over and over in the warm sand, crouching71 with arm to ward3 off, trying to cry for mercy.
He staggered to his feet, tensed for more terrors, and looked up at a huge peaked cap. It was a white-topped cap, and above the green shade of the peak was a crown, an anchor, gold foliage72. He saw white drill, epaulettes, a revolver, a row of gilt73 buttons down the front of a uniform.
A naval74 officer stood on the sand, looking down at Ralph in wary75 astonishment76. On the beach behind him was a cutter, her bows hauled up and held by two ratings. In the stern-sheets another rating held a sub-machine gun.
The officer looked at Ralph doubtfully for a moment, then took his hand away from the butt of the revolver.
"Hullo."
"Hullo."
The officer nodded, as if a question had been answered.
"Are there any adults―any grownups with you?"
Dumbly, Ralph shook his head. He turned a halfpace on the sand. A semicircle of little boys, their bodies streaked79 with colored clay, sharp sticks in their hands, were standing on the beach making no noise at all.
"Fun and games," said the officer.
The fire reached the coconut80 palms by the beach and swallowed them noisily. A flame, seemingly detached, swung like an acrobat81 and licked up the palm heads on the platform. The sky was black.
The officer grinned cheerfully at Ralph.
"We saw your smoke. What have you been doing? Having a war or something?"
Ralph nodded.
The officer inspected the little scarecrow in front of him. The kid needed a bath, a haircut, a nose-wipe and a good deal of ointment82.
"Nobody killed, I hope? Any dead bodies?"
"Only two. And they've gone."
The officer leaned down and looked closely at Ralph.
"Two? Killed?"
Ralph nodded again. Behind him, the whole island was shuddering83 with flame. The officer knew, as a rule, when people were telling the truth. He whistled softly.
Other boys were appearing now, tiny tots some of them, brown, with the distended84 bellies85 of small savages86. One of them came close to the officer and looked up.
"I'm, I'm―"
But there was no more to come. Percival Wemys Madison sought in his head for an incantation that had faded clean away.
The officer turned back to Ralph.
"We'll take you off. How many of you are there?"
Ralph shook his head. The officer looked past him to the group of painted boys.
"Who's boss here?"
"I am," said Ralph loudly.
A little boy who wore the remains87 of an extraordinary black cap on his red hair and who carried the remains of a pair of spectacles at his waist, started forward, then changed his mind and stood still.
"We saw your smoke. And you don't know how many of you there are?"
"No, sir."
"I should have thought," said the officer as he visualized the search before him, "I should have thought that a pack of British boys―you're all British, aren't you?―would have been able to put up a better show than that―I mean―"
"It was like that at first," said Ralph, "before things―"
He stopped.
"We were together then―"
The officer nodded helpfully.
"I know. Jolly good show. Like the Coral Island."
Ralph looked at him dumbly. For a moment he had a fleeting88 picture of the strange glamour89 that had once invested the beaches. But the island was scorched90 up like dead wood―Simon was dead―and Jack had.... The tears began to flow and sobs92 shook him. He gave himself up to them now for the first time on the island; great, shuddering spasms93 of grief that seemed to wrench94 his whole body. His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage95 of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob91 too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence96, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.
The officer, surrounded by these noises, was moved and a little embarrassed. He turned away to give them time to pull themselves together; and waited, allowing his eyes to rest on the trim cruiser in the distance.
