As he had hurtled down the silver shaft1 towards the widening disc of light, instinct had told him to get his knife from between his teeth, to get his hands forward to break his fall, and to keep his head down and his body rigid3. And, at the last fraction of a second when he glimpsed the up-rushing sea, he had managed to take a gulp4 of breath. So Bond hit the water in the semblance5 of a dive, his outstretched clenched6 fists cleaving7 a hole for his skull8 and shoulders, and though, by the time he had shot twenty feet below the surface, he had lost consciousness, the forty-mile-an-hour impact with the water failed to smash him.
Slowly the body rose to the surface and lay, head down, softly rocking in the ripples10 of the dive. The water-choked" lungs somehow contrived11 to send a last message to the brain. The legs and arms thrashed clumsily. The head turned up, water pouring from its open mouth. It sank. Again the legs jerked, instinctively12 trying to get the body upright in the water.' This time, coughing horribly, the head jerked above the surface and stayed there. The arms and legs began to move feebly, paddling like a dog, and, through the red and black curtain, the bloodshot eyes saw the lifeline and told the sluggish13 brain to make for it.
The killing14 ground was a narrow deep water inlet at the base of the towering cliff. The lifeline towards which Bond struggled, hampered15 by the clumsy spear in his trouser-leg, was a strong wire fence, stretched from the rock walls of the inlet ana caging it off from the open sea. The two-feet squares of thick wire were suspended from a cable six feet above the surface and disappeared, algae16 encrusted, into the depths.
Bond got to the wire and hung, crucified. For fifteen minutes he stayed like that, his body occasionally racked with vomiting17, until he felt strong enough to turn his head and see where he was. Blearily his eyes took in the towering cliffs above him and the narrow vee of softly breathing water. The place was in deep grey shadow, cut off from the dawn by the mountain, but out at sea there was the pearly iridescence18 of first light that meant that for the rest of the world the day was dawning. Here it was dark and gloomy and brooding.
Sluggishly19 Bond's mind puzzled over the wire fence. What was its purpose, closing off this dark cleft20 of sea? Was it to keep things out, or keep them in? Bond gazed vaguely21 down into the black depths around him. The wire strands23 vanished into nothingness below his clinging feet. There were small fish round his legs below the waist. What were they doing? They seemed to be feeding, darting24 in towards him and then backing away, catching25 at black strands. Strands of what? Of cotton from his rags? Bond shook his head to clear it. He looked again. No, they were feeding off his blood.
Bond shivered. Yes, blood was seeping26 off his body, off the torn shoulders, the knees, the feet, into the water. Now for the first time he felt the pain of the sea water on his sores and burns. The pain revived him, quickened his mind. If these small fish liked it, what about barracuda and shark? Was that what the wire fence was for, to keep man-eating fish from escaping to sea? Then why hadn't they been after him already? To hell with it! The first thing was to crawl up the wire afld get over to the other side. To put the fence between him and whatever lived in this black aquarium27.
Weakly, foothold by foothold, Bond climbed up the wire and over the top and down again to where he could rest well above the water. He hooked the thick cable under his arms and hung, a bit of washing on a line, and gazed vaguely down at the fish that still fed from the blood that dripped off his feet.
Now there was nothing much left of Bond, not many reserves. The last dive down the tube, the crash of impact and the half-death from drowning had squeezed him like a sponge. He was on the verge28 of surrender, on the verge of giving one small sigh and then slipping back into the soft arms of the water. How beautiful it would be to give in at last and rest-to feel the sea softly take him to its bed and turn out the light.
It was the explosive flight of the fish from their feeding ground that shook Bond out of his death-dreaming. Something had moved far below the surface. There was a distant shimmer29. Something was coming slowly up on the landward side of the fence.
Bond's body tautened. His hanging jaw30 slowly shut and the slackness cleared from his eyes. With the electric shock of danger, life flooded back into him, driving out the lethargy, pumping back the. will to survive.
Bond uncramped the fingers that, a long time ago, his brain had ordered not to lose his knife. He flexed31 his fingers and took a fresh grip of the silver-plated handle. He reached down and touched the crook32 of the wire spear that still hung inside his trouser-leg. He shook his head sharply and focused his eyes. Now what?
Below him the water quivered. Something was stirring in the depths, something huge. A great length of luminescent greyness showed, poised33 far down in the darkness. Something snaked up from it, a whiplash as thick as Bond's arm. The tip of the thong35 was swollen36 to a narrow oval, with regular bud-like markings. It swirled37 through the water where the fish had been and was withdrawn38. Now there was nothing but the huge grey shadow. What was it doing? Was it…? Was it tasting the blood?
As if in answer, two eyes as big as footballs slowly swam up and into Bond's vision. They stopped, twenty feet below his own, and stared up through the quiet water at his face.
Bond's skin crawled on his back. Softly, wearily, his mouth uttered one bitter four-lettered word. So this was the last surprise of Doctor No, the end of the race!
Bond stared down, half hypnotized, into the wavering pools of eye far below. So this was the giant squid, the mythical39 kraken that could pull ships beneath the waves, the fifty-foot-long monster that battled with whales, that weighed a ton or more. What else did he know about them? That they had two long seizing tentacles41 and ten holding ones. That they had a huge blunt beak42 beneath eyes that were the only fishes' eyes that worked on the camera principle, like a man's. That their brains were efficient, that they could shoot backwards43 through the water at thirty knots, by jet-propulsion. That explosive harpoons44 burst in their jellied mantle45 without damaging them. That… but the bulging46 black and white targets of the eyes were rising up towards him. The surface of the water shivered. Now Bond could see the forest of tentacles that flowered out of the face of the thing. They were weaving in front of the eyes like a bunch of thick snakes. Bond could see the dots of the suckers on their undersides. Behind the head, the great flap of the mantle softly opened and closed, and behind that the jellied sheen of the body disappeared into the depths. God, the thing was as big as a railway engine!
Softly, discreetly47, Bond snaked his feet and then his arms through the squares in the wire, lacing himself into them, anchoring himself so that the tentacles would have either to tear him to bits or wrench48 down the wire barrier with him. He squinted49 to right and left. Either way it was twenty yards along the wire to the land. And movement, even if he was capable of it, would be fatal. He must stay dead quiet and pray that the thing would lose interest. If it didn't… Softly Bond's fingers clenched on the puny50 knife.
The eyes watched him, coldly, patiently. Delicately, like the questing trunk of an elephant, one of the long seizing tentacles broke the surface and palped its way up the wire towards his leg. It reached his foot. Bond felt the hard kiss of the suckers. He didn't move. He dared not reach down and lose the grip of his arms through the wire. Softly the suckers tugged51, testing the amount of yield. It was not enough. Like a huge slimy caterpillar52, the tentacle40 walked slowly on up the leg. It got to the bloody53 blistered54 kneecap and stopped there, interested. Bond's teeth gritted55 with the pain. He could imagine the message going back down the thick tentacle to the brain: Yes, it's good to eat! And the brain signalling back: then get it! Bring it to me!
The suckers walked on up the thigh56. The tip of the tentacle was pointed57, then it splayed out so that it almost covered the width of Bond's thigh and then tapered58 off to a wrist. That was Bond's target. He would just have to take the pain and the horror and wait for the wrist to come within range.
A breeze, the first soft breeze of early morning, whispered across the metal surface of the inlet. It raised small waves that slapped gently against the sheer walls of the cliff. A wedge of cormorants59 took off from the guanera, five hundred feet above the inlet, and, cackling softly, made out to sea. As they swept over, the noise that had disturbed them reached Bond-the triple blast of a ship's siren that means it is ready to take on cargo60. It came from Bond's left. The jetty must be round the corner from the northern arm of the inlet. The tanker61 from Antwerp had come in. Antwerp! Part of the world outside-the world that was a million miles away, out of Bond's reach-surely out of his reach for ever. Just around that corner, men would be in the galley62, having breakfast. The radio would be playing. There would be the sizzle of bacon and eggs, th smell of coffee… breakfast cooking…
The suckers were at his hip34. Bond could see into the horny cups. A stagnant63 sea smell reached him as the hand slowly undulated upwards64. How tough was the mottled grey-brown jelly behind the hand? Should he stab? No, it must be a quick' hard slash65, straight across, like cutting a rope. Never mind about cutting into his own skin.
Now! Bond took a quick glance into the two football eyes, so patient, so incurious. As he did so the other seizing arm broke the surface and shot straight up at his face. Bond jerked back and the hand curled into a fist round the wire in front of his eyes. In a second it would shift to an arm or shoulder and he would be finished. Now!
The first hand was on his ribs66. Almost without taking aim, Bond's knife-hand slashed67 down and across. He felt the blade bite into the puddingy flesh and then the knife was almost torn from his grip as the wounded tentacle whipped back into the water. For a moment the sea boiled around him. Now the other hand let go the wire and slapped across his stomach. The pointed hand stuck like a leech68, all the power of the suckers furiously applied69. Bond screamed as the suckers bit into his flesh. He slashed madly, again and again. God, his stomach was being torn out! The wire shook with the struggle. Below him the water boiled and foamed71. He would have to give in. One more stab, this time into the back of the hand. It worked! The hand jerked free and snaked down and away leaving twenty red circles, edged with blood, across his skin.
Bond had not time to worry about them. Now the head of the squid had broken the surface and the sea was being thrashed into foam70 by the great heaving mantle round it. The eyes were glaring up at him, redly, venomously, and the forest of feeding arms was at his feet and legs, tearing the cotton fabric72 away and flailing73 back. Bond was being pulled down, inch by inch. The wire was biting into his armpits. He could even feel his spine74 being stretched. If he held on he would be torn in half. Now the eyes and the great triangular75 beak were right out of the water and the beak was reaching up for his feet. There was one hope, only one!
Bond thrust his knife between his teeth and his hand dived for the crook of the wire spear. He tore it out, got it between his two hands and wrenched76 the doubled wire almost straight.
He would have to let go with one arm to stoop and get within range. If he missed, he would be torn to shreds77 on the fence.
Now, before he died of the pain! Now, now!
Bond let his whole body slip down the ladder of wire and lunged through and down with all his force.
He caught a glimpse of the tip of his spear lancing into the centre of a black eyeball and then the whole sea erupted up at him in a fountain of blackness and he fell and hung upside down by the knees, his head an inch from the surface of the water.
What had happened? Had he gone blind? He could see nothing. His eyes were stinging and there was a horrible fish taste in his mouth. But he could feel the wire cutting into the tendons behind his knees. So he must be alive! Dazedly78 Bond let go the spear from his trailing hand and reached up and felt for the nearest strand22 of wire. He got a hold and reached up his other hand and slowly, agonizingly, pulled himself up so that he was sitting in the fence. Streaks79 of light came into his eyes. He wiped a hand across his face. Now he could see. He gazed at his hand. It was black and sticky. He looked down at his body. It was covered with black slime, and blackness stained the sea for twenty yards around. Then Bond realized. The wounded squid had emptied its ink sac at him.
But where was the squid? Would it come back? Bond searched the sea. Nothing, nothing but the spreading stain of black. Not a movement. Not a ripple9. Then don't wait! Get away from here! Get away quick! Wildly Bond looked to right and left. Left was towards the ship, but also towards Doctor No. But right was towards nothing. To build the wire fence the men must have come from the left, from the direction of the jetty. There would be some sort of a path. Bond reached for the top cable and frantically80 began to edge along the swaying fence towards the rocky headland twenty yards away.
The stinking81, bleeding, black scarecrow moved its arms and legs quite automatically. The thinking, feeling apparatus82 of Bond was no longer part of his body. It moved alongside his body, or floated above it, keeping enough contact to pull the strings83 that made the puppet work. Bond was like a cut worm, the two halves of which continue to jerk forward although life has gone and been replaced by the mock life of nervous impulses. Only, with Bond, the two halves were not yet dead. Life was only in abeyance84 in them. All he needed was an ounce of hope, an ounce of reassurance85 that it was still worth while trying to stay alive.
Bond got to the-rock face. Slowly he let himself down to the bottom rung of wire. He gazed vaguely at the softly heaving sheen of water. It was black, impenetrable, as deep as the rest. Should he chance it? He must! He could do nothing until he had washed off the caking slime and blood, the horrible stale fish-smell. Moodily86, fatalistically, he took off the rags of his shirt and trousers and hung them on the wire. He looked down at his brown and white body, striped and pock-marked with red. On an instinct he felt his pulse. It was slow but regular. The steady thump87 of life revived his spirits. What the hell was he worrying about? He was alive. The wounds and bruises88 on his body were nothing-absolutely nothing. They looked ugly, but nothing was broken. Inside the torn envelope, the machine was quietly, solidly ticking over. Superficial cuts and abrasions89, bloody memories, deathly exhaustion-these were hurts that an accident ward2 would sneer90 at. Get on, you bastard91! Get moving! Clean yourself and wake up. Count your blessings92. Think of the girl. Think of the man you've somehow got to find and kill. Hang on to life like you've hung on to the knife between your teeth. Stop being sorry for yourself. To hell with what happened just now. Get down into the water and wash!
Ten minutes later, Bond, his wet rags clinging to his scrubbed, stinging body and his hair slicked back out of his eyes, climbed over the top of the headland.
Yes, it was as he had guessed. A narrow rocky track, made by the feet of the workers, led down the other side and round the bulge93 of the cliff.
From close by came various sounds and echoes. A crane was working. He could hear the changing beat of its engine. There were iron ship-noises and the sound of water splashing into the sea from a bilge pump.
Bond looked up at the sky. It was pale blue. Clouds tinged94 with golden pink were trailing away towards the horizon. Far above him the cormorants were wheeling round the guanera. Soon they would be going off to feed. Perhaps even now they were watching the scout95 groups far out at sea locating the fish. It would be about six o'clock, the dawn of a beautiful day.
Bond, leaving drops of blood behind him, picked his way carefully down the track and along the bottom of the shadowed cliff. Round the bead96, the track filtered through a maze97 of giant, tumbled boulders98. The noises grew louder. Bond crept softly forward, watching his footholds for loose stones. A voice called out, startlingly close, "Okay to go?" There was a distant answer: "Okay." The crane engine accelerated. A few more yards. One more boulder99. And another. Now!
Bond flattened100 himself against the rock and warily101 inched his head round the corner.
