Through all this
sleepless1 night I have followed the keg in fancy. How many times I seem to see it swept against the rocks in the tunnel into a
creek2, or some
excavation3. I am in a cold
perspiration4 from head to foot. Then I imagine that it has been carried out to sea. Heavens! if the returning tide should sweep it back to tho entrance and then through the tunnel into the
lagoon5! I must be on the
lookout6 for it.
I rise before the sun and saunter down to the lagoon. Not a single object is floating on its calm surface.
The work on the tunnel through the side of the
cavern7 goes on, and at four o’clock in the afternoon on September 23, Engineer Serko blows away the last rock
obstructing9 the issue, and communication with the outer world is established. It is only a very narrow hole, and one has to stoop to go through it. The
exterior10 orifice is lost among the crannies of the rocky coast, and it would be easy to
obstruct8 it, if such a measure became necessary.
It goes without saying that the passage will be
strictly11 guarded. No one without special
authorization12 will be able either to go out or come in, therefore there is little hope of escape in that direction.
