In the meantime, Yolande had suffered every terror that the human mind could conceive. She had wandered round and round in the blackness, stumbling against débris, falling into stagnant pools of water, until exhaustion overcame her, and for a period she lost her senses completely.
She was awakened by a strange noise -- a curious bellowing voice that reverberated through the cavern. It was calling something -- "Minna," she thought, and, as her brain became clearer, she realised with a start of horror that her late captor had returned from his murderous quest and was searching for her. The voice came nearer and nearer, and then a soft glow split the darkness. She blinked at the relative brilliance, and saw that she was near the side of a big excavation, from which passages branched off in several directions. The light was shining from an opening immediately opposite her.
