For some time I stood tottering1 on the mound2 regardless of my safety. Within that noisome3 den4 from which I had emerged I had thought with a narrow intensity5 only of our immediate6 security. I had not realised what had been happening to the world, had not anticipated this startling vision of unfamiliar7 things. I had expected to see Sheen in ruins-I found about me the landscape, weird8 and lurid9, of another planet.

For that moment I touched an emotion beyond the common range of men, yet one that the poor brutes10 we dominate know only too well. I felt as a rabbit might feel returning to his burrow11 and suddenly confronted by the work of a dozen busy navvies digging the foundations of a house. I felt the first inkling of a thing that presently grew quite clear in my mind, that oppressed me for many days, a sense of dethronement, a persuasion12 that I was no longer a master, but an animal among the animals, under the Martian heel. With us it would be as with them, to lurk13 and watch, to run and hide; the fear and empire of man had passed away.

But so soon as this strangeness had been realised it passed, and my dominant14 motive15 became the hunger of my long and dismal16 fast. In the direction away from the pit I saw, beyond a red-covered wall, a patch of garden ground unburied. This gave me a hint, and I went knee-deep, and sometimes neck-deep, in the red weed. The density17 of the weed gave me a reassuring18 sense of hiding. The wall was some six feet high, and when I attempted to clamber it I found I could not lift my feet to the crest19. So I went along by the side of it, and came to a corner and a rockwork that enabled me to get to the top, and tumble into the garden I coveted20. Here I found some young onions, a couple of gladiolus bulbs, and a quantity of immature21 carrots, all of which I secured, and, scrambling22 over a ruined wall, went on my way through scarlet23 and crimson24 trees towards Kew-it was like walking through an avenue of gigantic blood drops--possessed with two ideas: to get more food, and to limp, as soon and as far as my strength permitted, out of this accursed unearthly region of the pit.

Some way farther, in a grassy25 place, was a group of mushrooms which also I devoured26, and then I came upon a brown sheet of flowing shallow water, where meadows used to be. These fragments of nourishment27 served only to whet28 my hunger. At first I was surprised at this flood in a hot, dry summer, but afterwards I discovered that it was caused by the tropical exuberance29 of the red weed. Directly this extraordinary growth encountered water it straightway became gigantic and of unparalleled fecundity30. Its seeds were simply poured down into the water of the Wey and Thames, and its swiftly growing and Titanic31 water fronds32 speedily choked both those rivers.

At Putney, as I afterwards saw, the bridge was almost lost in a tangle33 of this weed, and at Richmond, too, the Thames water poured in a broad and shallow stream across the meadows of Hampton and Twickenham. As the water spread the weed followed them, until the ruined villas34 of the Thames valley were for a time lost in this red swamp, whose margin35 I explored, and much of the desolation the Martians had caused was concealed36.

In the end the red weed succumbed37 almost as quickly as it had spread. A cankering disease, due, it is believed, to the action of certain bacteria, presently seized upon it. Now by the action of natural selection, all terrestrial plants have acquired a resisting power against bacterial39 diseases--they never succumb38 without a severe struggle, but the red weed rotted like a thing already dead. The fronds became bleached40, and then shrivelled and brittle41. They broke off at the least touch, and the waters that had stimulated42 their early growth carried their last vestiges43 out to sea.

My first act on coming to this water was, of course, to slake44 my thirst. I drank a great deal of it and, moved by an impulse, gnawed45 some fronds of red weed; but they were watery46, and had a sickly, metallic47 taste. I found the water was sufficiently48 shallow for me to wade49 securely, although the red weed impeded50 my feet a little; but the flood evidently got deeper towards the river, and I turned back to Mortlake. I managed to make out the road by means of occasional ruins of its villas and fences and lamps, and so presently I got out of this spate51 and made my way to the hill going up towards Roehampton and came out on Putney Common.

Here the scenery changed from the strange and unfamiliar to the wreckage52 of the familiar: patches of ground exhibited the devastation53 of a cyclone54, and in a few score yards I would come upon perfectly55 undisturbed spaces, houses with their blinds trimly drawn56 and doors closed, as if they had been left for a day by the owners, or as if their inhabitants slept within. The red weed was less abundant; the tall trees along the lane were free from the red creeper. I hunted for food among the trees, finding nothing, and I also raided a couple of silent houses, but they had already been broken into and ransacked57. I rested for the remainder of the daylight in a shrubbery, being, in my enfeebled condition, too fatigued58 to push on.

All this time I saw no human beings, and no signs of the Martians. I encountered a couple of hungry-looking dogs, but both hurried circuitously59 away from the advances I made them. Near Roehampton I had seen two human skeletons-not bodies, but skeletons, picked clean--and in the wood by me I found the crushed and scattered60 bones of several cats and rabbits and the skull61 of a sheep. But though I gnawed parts of these in my mouth, there was nothing to be got from them.

After sunset I struggled on along the road towards Putney, where I think the Heat-Ray must have been used for some reason. And in the garden beyond Roehampton I got a quantity of immature potatoes, sufficient to stay my hunger. From this garden one looked down upon Putney and the river. The aspect of the place in the dusk was singularly desolate62: blackened trees, blackened, desolate ruins, and down the hill the sheets of the flooded river, red-tinged with the weed. And over all--silence. It filled me with indescribable terror to think how swiftly that desolating63 change had come.

For a time I believed that mankind had been swept out of existence, and that I stood there alone, the last man left alive. Hard by the top of Putney Hill I came upon another skeleton, with the arms dislocated and removed several yards from the rest of the body. As I proceeded I became more and more convinced that the extermination64 of mankind was, save for such stragglers as myself, already accomplished65 in this part of the world. The Martians, I thought, had gone on and left the country desolated66, seeking food elsewhere. Perhaps even now they were destroying Berlin or Paris, or it might be they had gone northward67.
