IN THE ECHOING CAVERN OF THE PIT

"This one must not be wasted,' Anthony Francezci cautioned his unseen father. 'Her knowledge can't be lost. We paid
for her, dearly. We may never see another opportunity like this. And remember, Father: what threatens us threatens
you ...'
I understand, yesss. Send her down.
'But you are hungry, we know, and occasionally ... impatient? And ifтАФ'
тАФSEND HER DOWN ... NOW!
There was nothing else for it. Franeesco Francezci operated the machinery, and together the brothers manoeuvred
the platform and girl into position over the pit. Finally Anthony broke an ampoule under her nose, and she groaned a
little. But before she could wake up more fully, they sent her on her way to hell.
Her weight was measured on a dial. She sank sixty, seventy, seventy-five feet... She must surely be awake by now ...
And suddenly her weight became zero.
'Get it up!' Anthony croaked, as Franeesco reversed the gears. The platform came up empty. While from down
belowтАФ
тАФA shriek to end all shrieks!
