@@@@@At the base of his shame was an added @@@@@At the base of his shame was an added guiltHe was glad it was over, glad the long contest with Croft was finished, and he could obey orders with submission, without feeling that he must resistThis was the extra humiliation, the crushing oneCould that be all, was that the end of all he had done in his life? Did it always come to laying down a load? He fell into line and trudged along in the middle of the platoonHe looked at nobody, and no one looked at himAll of them felt a wretched embarrassmentEach man was trying to forget the way he had been tempted to shoot Croft and had failed As they walked, Polack cursed continually in a low sullen voice, filled with self-loathingHe was swearing at himself, frightened, a little shockedThe moment had been there, and he had let it go, had had his rifle in his hands, and had done nothing with ityellow! And Croft at this point was confident againThis morning they would cross the mountain peakEverything and everybody had tried to hold him back but there could be nothing left now, no obstacle at all
The platoon climbed the slope, crossed another ridge, and descended over a stretch of scattered rocks into one more tiny valleyCroft led them through a small rock gorge onto another slope and for an hour they toiled upward from rock to rock, crawling sometimes for hundreds of yards on their hands and knees in a laborious endless progression which skirted the edge of a deep ravineBy midmorning the sun was very hot, and the men were exhausted once moreCroft led them much more slowly, halting every few minutes They topped a crest-line and jogged feebly down a gentle slopeBefore them was a huge amphitheater, bounded in a rough semicircle by high sheer bluffs covered with vegetationThe cliffs of jungle rose almost vertically for five hundred feet, at least the height of a forty-story skyscraper, and above them was the crest of the mountainCroft had noticed this amphitheater; from miles away it looked like a dark-green collar encircling the neck of the mountain There was no way to avoid it; at either side of the amphitheater the mountain dropped for a thousand feetThey had to go forward and climb the jungle before themCroft rested the platoon at the base, but there was no shade and the rest had little valueAfter five minutes they set out | | Sunday, January 2nd, 2011 | | 2:43 am |
