The next day, Thursday, August 27, is a well-remembered date in our / subterranean journey. It never returns to my memory without sending / through me a shudder of horror and a palpitation of the heart. From / that hour we had no further occasion for the exercise of reason, or / judgment, or skill, or contrivance. We were henceforth to be hurled / along, the playthings of the fierce elements of the deep.
At six we were afoot. The moment drew near to clear a way by blasting / through the opposing mass of granite.
