Chapter 12 A GREAT SURPRISE - AND A SHOCK FOR GEORGE
As soon as Dick shouted 'STOP' Julian and George hung on to the rope to stop it going down anyfurther. Dick was swinging just opposite the strange door. He began to feel round it, and to jiggle it.
It had no lock, apparently1, but there was a bolt on his side. He tried to push back the bolt - andsuddenly it came away from the door, and dropped down into the well. It had rusted2 so much that itcould not even hold to the door, once it was handled!
The door felt loose, now the bolt was gone. Dick ran his hands round it, trying to loosen it further,and banged it with his fist. Rust3 fell off it, and Dick's hands were soon brown with the old old rust.
He saw a little knob at the top of the door and gave it a tug4. Ah - the door felt looser now. He ran hisknife all round the edges, scraping away all the rust he could find. Then he managed to get hisstrongest knife-blade in between the door-edge and the well-wall, and used it as a lever to force thedoor open.
It opened slowly and painfully, with creaks and groans5. It was about eighteen inches high and notquite so much wide. Dick pulled it back with difficulty and then peered through the hole.
51
He could see nothing at all but black darkness - how very disappointing! He fumbled6 in his pocket tosee if he had a torch. Yes - good! He shone it through the little door, his hand trembling withexcitement. What would he see?
His torch was small and not very powerful. The light fell first of all on a face with gleaming eyes, andDick had such a shock that he almost fell down the well. The eyes seemed to glare up at him in a verythreatening manner! He switched his torch to the right - and yet another face gleamed up at him. 'Aqueer face,' thought Dick. 'Yellow as can be! YELLOW! YELLOW! I believe that face is made ofgold!'
His hand was trembling even more, he shone his torch here and there through the opening, catchingfirst one yellow face in its light, and then another. The faces had yellow bodies too, and their eyesglinted very queerly.
'I believe - yes, I really do believe - that I've found the hiding-place of the golden statues!'
