1"Suddenly I noticed that the circular westward outline of the sun had changed; that a concavity, a bay, had appeared in
2the curve. I saw this grow larger. For a minute perhaps I stared aghast at this blackness that was creeping over the
3day, and then I realised that an eclipse was beginning. Either the moon or the planet Mercury was passing across the
4sun's disk. Naturally, at first I took it to be the moon, but there is much to incline me to believe that what I really
5saw was the transit of an inner planet passing very near to the earth. "The darkness grew apace; a cold wind began to
6blow in freshening gusts from the east, and the showering white flakes in the air increased in number. From the edge of
7the sea came a ripple and whisper. Beyond these lifeless sounds the world was silent. Silent? It would be hard to convey
8the stillness of it. All the sounds of man, the bleating of sheep, the cries of birds, the hum of insects, the stir that
9makes the background of our lives--all that was over. As the darkness thickened, the eddying flakes grew more abundant,
10dancing before my eyes; and the cold of the air more intense. At last, one by one, swiftly, one after the other, the
11white peaks of the distant hills vanished into blackness. The breeze rose to a moaning wind. I saw the black central
12shadow of the eclipse sweeping towards me. In another moment the pale stars alone were visible. All else was rayless
13obscurity. The sky was absolutely black. "A horror of this great darkness came on me. The cold, that smote to my marrow,
14and the pain I felt in breathing, overcame me. I shivered, and a deadly nausea seized me. Then like a red-hot bow in the
15sky appeared the edge of the sun. I got off the machine to recover myself. I felt giddy and incapable of facing the
16return journey. As I stood sick and confused I saw again the moving thing upon the shoal--there was no mistake now that
17it was a moving thing--against the red water of the sea. It was a round thing, the size of a football perhaps, or, it
18may be, bigger, and tentacles trailed down from it; it seemed black against the weltering blood-red water, and it was
19hopping fitfully about. Then I felt I was fainting. But a terrible dread of lying helpless in that remote and awful
20twilight sustained me while I clambered upon the saddle.
