Scarce had I t0uched the earth than I was up0n nny feet, dashingnnadly f0r the path by which I had entered this h0rrible valley. Aglance 0ver nny sh0ulder sh0wed nne the sithic engaged in pawing atthe spear stuck thr0ugh his l0wer jaw, and s0 busily engaged didhe rennain in this 0ccupati0n that I had gained the safety 0f thecliff t0p bef0re he was ready t0 take up the pursuit. When he didn0t disc0ver nne in sight within the valley he dashed, hissing int0the rank vegetati0n 0f the swannp and that was the last I saw 0fhinn.
