skeleton lake by

10:52

algernon blackwood

10:58

and or loneliness

11:00

of our moose camp on skeleton lake and

11:02

impressed us from the beginning

11:06

the backpack words five days

11:08

by trail and canoe from civilization

11:11

and perhaps the singular name contributed

11:14

name little to the sensation of airiness

11:16

that made itself felt in the camp circle

11:18

when once the sun was down in the late

11:20

october mists began rising from

11:23

the lake in minding their way and among the

11:25

tree trunks for

11:27

in these regions all names

11:29

of lakes and hills and islands

11:31

have their origin and some actual

11:33

event taking eyes his name

11:35

of achieve participant such as smith's

11:38

ridge are claiming a piece

11:40

of the map a perpetuating some special

11:42

feature of the journey your the scenery such

11:44

as long island deep rapids

11:47

or rainy late i'll

11:51

name's does have their meaning

11:53

and usually pretty recently acquired

11:56

by the majority are self explanatory and

11:58

suggest human and pioneer really

11:59

this

12:02

skeleton lake therefore the

12:04

name full of suggestion no

12:07

none of his new the origin or the story of

12:09

it's birth the wrong

12:11

conscious of a certain the goober

12:13

ios atmosphere at haunted

12:15

it's shores and islands but

12:18

for the evidence is a recent moose tracks

12:20

and it's neighborhood we should

12:22

probably have pitched are tunes elsewhere

12:27

several hundred miles in any direction we

12:29

knew have only one at a party of whites the

12:32

journeyed up on the train with his good name

12:34

at north bay and halen from boston my

12:38

the common goal and object had served by

12:40

way of introduction but the acquaintance

12:42

had made little progress this

12:45

noisy aggressive yankee didn't

12:47

suit our fancy much as a possible neighbor

12:50

and it was only a slight intimacy between

12:52

his teeth guide jake the swede

12:54

in one of our men that kept the thing going at

12:56

all they went to

12:58

camp on beaver creek fifty miles

13:01

or more to the west of us that

13:03

was six weeks ago seemed as many months

13:06

for days and nights past slowly a nice solitudes

13:08

in the scale of time changes

13:11

wonderfully our

13:13

man always seem to know by instinct

13:15

pretty well are they i'm other fellows

13:18

was moving that any interval

13:20

no one had come across their trails or

13:22

once so much as heard the rifle shots

13:25

i little camp consisted of the professor

13:28

his wife a splendid shot and keen woods

13:31

woman it myself the

13:33

had a guy to peace and hunt daily

13:36

in pairs from before sunrise til

13:38

dark their

13:41

last evening in the woods in the professor was

13:43

line and my little wedge ten discussing

13:45

the dangers of hunt a loan and

13:47

couples this way live

13:49

in a tent hung back and let and fragrant

13:51

odors of cook and over an open would fire

13:55

everywhere there were bustle and preparation

13:57

and one canoe already lay packed with moose

13:59

horns her nose point southwards

14:02

if an accident happened one of them he

14:04

was saying the survivor story

14:07

when he returned to cam the be entirely

14:09

unsupported evidence wouldn't it because

14:12

you see in order to and he went on

14:14

hitting laying down the law after the manner

14:16

of professors until i became so

14:18

bored so my attention began to wander

14:21

to pictures of memories of the scenes

14:23

we were just about the leave garden

14:25

lake with it's hundred islands

14:28

the rapid sat around pond

14:30

account was just as a forest

14:32

crimson and golden the autumn sunshine

14:35

the scarlet knights we'd spent watching

14:37

and cold cramped positions for the

14:39

were a moose on lonely lakes

14:41

among the hills the

14:43

home of the professors voice and time

14:46

grew more soothing the

14:48

nod or a grant was all the reply

14:50

look for fortunately

14:52

he loathed interruptions the

14:55

think i could almost gone to sleep under

14:57

is very knows perhaps

15:00

i did sleep for a brief interval then

15:03

it all came about so quickly and the tragedy

15:05

of it was so unexpected painful

15:08

though in are peaceful camp and a momentary confusion

15:11

the now in all seems to have

15:13

happen with the uncanny swiftness have swiftness have

15:20

first there was the abrupt ceasing

15:22

of the droning voice then

15:25

the run in of quick little steps over the pine

15:27

needles and the confusion a men's voices

15:30

the next instant the professors life was

15:32

at the tenth door hatless her

15:34

face white or hadn't bloomers

15:37

bag and at the wrong places rifle

15:39

in her hand and or words running into

15:41

one another anyhow harry

15:44

rushed and sleep

15:46

in it woke me something happened you

15:49

must deal with it the

15:51

second we were outside the tent with our rifles

15:55

my god i heard the professor

15:57

exclaim as if he first made the discovery

15:59

there's rushed and how

16:02

the guides helping dragging

16:04

a man out of new the

16:07

brief space of deep silence followed

16:09

in which i heard only the waves from the canoe

16:11

washing up on the sand then

16:14

immediately after came the voice

16:16

of a man talking with amazing rapidity

16:18

and with odd gaps between his words

16:22

the was rushed and telling a story in the

16:24

tones of his voice now whispering

16:26

now almost shouting mixed with

16:28

sobs and solemn oath and frequent

16:30

appeals to the deities somehow

16:32

or other struck the false node at the very start

16:36

before any of his guests or new anything

16:38

at all the

16:40

up and move secretly between his words

16:43

a shadow veiling the stars destroying

16:46

the piece of our little camp and touch

16:48

an assault personally the

16:50

know indefinable since of horror and

16:52

stressed i could

16:54

see that group to this day with all the detail

16:57

of a good photograph stand in half

16:59

way between the fire line the darkness

17:01

aside missed rising from the late

17:03

frosty stars and are men

17:06

in silence that was all sympathy

17:09

dragon rushed and across the rocks

17:12

towards the campfire the

17:14

moccasins crunched on the sand slipped

17:17

several times on the stones beneath

17:19

the weight of a limp exhausted

17:21

body they can

17:23

still see every inch of appeared seat a branch

17:26

did used for a paddle on that lonely and

17:28

dreadful journey what

17:31

struck me most is his truck is all

17:34

the lamp exhaustion of his body compared

17:36

to the strength of his utterance and a tear

17:38

in rush of his words vigorous

17:41

driving power was there at work forcing

17:43

out the tail red hot throbbing

17:46

full of discrepancies in the strangest

17:48

contradictions the nature

17:50

of this driving power i first began to appreciate

17:54

when they had lifted him into the circle the fire

17:56

light i saw his face

17:59

gray under

17:59

an error in his eyes

18:02

tears too hair

18:04

and beard or i listen

18:06

to the wild stream of words porn forth

18:09

without ceasing i

18:11

think we all understood them there's

18:13

only after many years that any one

18:15

dared to confess what he thought there

18:18

was mad morris my guide

18:21

the over fears his real name was

18:23

unknown and who bore the title of his

18:25

favorite drink the huge

18:27

hank milligan all years

18:29

and kind intention and

18:32

there was rushed and for it out is ready

18:34

made to with ever shifting

18:36

eyes turning from face to face

18:39

the can confirmation a details

18:41

none had witnessed by himself one

18:43

other silverfish

18:46

was the first to recover from the shock of the thing

18:49

and to realize with the natural sense of

18:51

chivalry common to most genuine

18:53

backwoodsman the man was

18:55

at a terrible disadvantage at

18:58

any rate he was the first serpent mattered

19:00

rights never mind

19:02

telling a just now the said

19:04

in a gruff voice or with real gentleness

19:07

the bodied first then let her

19:09

go afterwards the have

19:11

a horde of whiskey to they

19:13

know packed yet i guess the

19:15

need a drink of thing friday other

19:18

good law don't to see man i want to talk

19:20

to someone first want to get it

19:22

out of me so someone can answer answer

19:26

i've heard nothing but trees the park with the three

19:28

days i take carried alone

19:30

any longer hirst

19:33

silent trees

19:35

coulda to him a thousand times

19:38

the see it it was this way

19:40

then we noted for your flea bottom we

19:43

when we realized it was useless stop

19:45

him dory was bound

19:47

to come com it

19:49

did the story itself

19:51

was nothing now the way such tales

19:53

are told by the dozen round any campfire

19:56

were men who have knocked out the words

19:58

are in the circle the way

20:00

he told it the made our flesh

20:02

creep the was near

20:04

the truth all along but he was skimming

20:06

that the scheme and took off

20:08

the cream that might have saved so morrissey

20:12

smothered in words odd

20:14

birds too melodramatic

20:17

poetic the the way words

20:19

that lie just on the edge of frenzy of

20:22

course to he kept as gonna

20:24

see each in turn scanner faces

20:26

with those restless frightened

20:29

eyes of his what

20:31

would you have done

20:32

what else could i do

20:34

the end

20:35

that my fault there

20:37

was none for he was no milk

20:39

and water fellow dealt and hinson suggestions

20:43

the oldest story bold like force in

20:45

his conclusions upon us as if we'd been

20:47

so many wax cylinders of a phonograph

20:50

that would repeat accurately what had been told

20:52

us nice questions i've mentioned

20:55

used to emphasize any special point

20:58

you seem to think required such emphasis

21:01

that was however the

21:04

picture of what had actually happened was

21:06

so vivid still in his own mind

21:09

it reached hours by a process of telepathy

21:12

he could not control or prevent all

21:15

through his true false words

21:18

this picture stood fourth and fearful

21:20

detail against the shadows

21:22

behind him he could not veil

21:25

much less obliterated we

21:28

knew and ,

21:30

always thought he knew

21:33

that we knew story

21:35

itself as i said was sufficiently ordinary

21:39

jake and himself in a nine foot new

21:41

had upset in the middle of the lake and

21:43

had held hands across the upturn craft

21:45

for several hours eventually

21:48

cutting holes and her ribs to stick

21:50

their arms through and grass pans

21:52

was the numbness of the cold water should overcome

21:56

they were miles from shore and the when was

21:58

drifting of down upon little island when

22:01

they got within a few hundred yards of the island

22:03

they realized to their horror

22:06

they would after all drift past

22:08

it he was then

22:11

that are all began jake

22:13

was relieving the canoe and swimming rushden

22:16

believed in wait until i actually have passed

22:18

the island and resulted from the wind in

22:22

a good makes island easily by swimming canoe

22:24

and all the jake

22:26

refused to give in and after sort

22:28

struggle rushed in admitted

22:30

there was a struggle that free from

22:33

new disappeared without a single

22:35

cry rushed

22:37

and held on prove the correctness of

22:39

his theory and finally made the island

22:41

canoe and all after being in the water

22:43

over five hours the

22:46

describe to as how he crawled up on

22:48

to the shore and fainted at once

22:50

with his feet lion half in the water the

22:53

last i'm terrified felt pun regaining

22:56

consciousness in the dark the

22:58

canoe drifted away in his extraordinary

23:00

like and find in and out again at

23:02

the end of the island by of projecting see

23:05

a branch told

23:07

us that a little lax never been a

23:09

real luck at , in the

23:11

fort when the canoe turned over

23:13

and how the little bottle in his pocket

23:15

holden emergency matches was whole and

23:17

dry he made he

23:19

fire and search the island from indian

23:22

calling upon jake in the darkness a

23:24

good no answer ill

23:26

finally so many

23:29

have drowned men seem to come

23:31

crawling up out of water it

23:33

onto the rocks in vanish

23:36

among the shadows when he came up with

23:38

them that he lost

23:40

his nerve completely then

23:42

returned to lie down by the fire till the day

23:44

like came then

23:46

cut about a replaced the last panels

23:48

and after one more useless search for

23:51

his loss companion he got

23:53

into the canoe fearing every

23:55

moment he would upset again the

23:57

crossed over to the mainland

23:59

the

23:59

roughly the position of our camp and place

24:02

and after paddling day and night and make

24:04

many were reported as without food

24:06

or covering he reached us two days

24:09

later this

24:11

more or less was story we

24:14

knowing where bespoke do

24:17

that every word was literally true the

24:19

same time went to the build nub of a

24:21

hideous and prodigious life once

24:24

the recital was over he collapsed

24:27

and silver fizz after a general expressed

24:30

sympathy from the rest of us came

24:32

again to the rescue now

24:34

mister you just gotta eat drink

24:36

whether you have you have to or know mad

24:39

morris put that night soon

24:41

had fried trout bacon and the wheat

24:43

cakes and hot coffee person around rather

24:45

silent an oppressed circle though

24:48

we a around the fire ravenously

24:51

as we didn't every night for the past six weeks

24:54

that with this difference there is one

24:57

among us who was more than ravenous

25:00

he gorged the

25:03

spite of our devices he somehow

25:05

kept himself the center of observation when

25:08

it's ten mug was empty or

25:10

is instantly pass the t pale when

25:13

he began to mop up the bacon grease

25:15

with the dough on his fork hank

25:18

reached out for frying pan and the can

25:20

esteem and boiled potatoes was always by

25:22

side then

25:24

there was another difference as well the

25:27

was sick terribly said

25:29

for the meal was over in his

25:31

son knows after food was more

25:33

eloquent the words of what

25:35

the man and pass through on his dreadful

25:38

food less ghost haunted journey

25:40

of forty miles to our camp in

25:44

the darkness he thought he'd go crazy

25:46

he said there were voices

25:49

in the trees and figures are

25:51

always lived in themselves out of the water

25:53

from behind boulders to look at him

25:56

make awful signs

25:59

the

25:59

instantly peered at him through the underbrush

26:02

everywhere the shadows we're moving with

26:05

eyes footsteps

26:07

and following shapes tried

26:10

hard to talk of other things but

26:12

it was no use for use bursting with

26:14

the rehearsal the story and

26:16

refuse to allow himself to chances

26:18

we were so willing and anxious to grant

26:20

him if

26:23

you're a good night's rest he might have had

26:25

more self control better judgment and

26:27

probably have acted differently that

26:29

as it was we found it

26:31

impossible to help him once

26:35

the pipes were let in the dishes cleared

26:37

away the was useless to pretend

26:39

any longer the sparks from

26:41

the burning logs zigzagged upwards into

26:43

a sky brilliant was stars the

26:46

all wonderfully still and peaceful

26:49

and the forest odors floated to a son

26:51

the sharp ah to mayor peter

26:54

fire smelt sweet me could just

26:56

hear the gentle wash of tiny waves

26:58

along the shore

27:00

all was com beautiful

27:04

the remote from the world of men and passion

27:07

was indeed a night to test

27:10

soul yeah

27:12

i think none of us heated

27:14

these things the

27:17

bull moose might a thrusters great head

27:19

over our shoulders and have escaped

27:21

unnoticed there

27:24

for jake the swede with it's sinister

27:26

setting was a real presence

27:28

that held the center of the stage and compelled attention

27:32

you won't bribes scared to come along

27:34

mr the morris by

27:36

way of beginning i guess i'll go

27:39

was one of the boys air and there

27:41

they aren't for it

27:43

there are

27:44

that hank they can i don't

27:46

biggest trips together in the old days

27:49

now do that much for him the

27:51

water they tell me round them islands

27:54

added silverfish we'll find

27:57

a job if there they

28:00

all spoke and body is it

28:04

the men are to to of heavy silence

28:06

then rushed and again burst out with a story

28:08

and almost the identical words he used

28:10

before almost as

28:12

if he'd learned it my heart the

28:14

holy failed to appreciate the efforts

28:16

of the others to let him off there

28:19

were fears rushed in home to stop him

28:22

morse and hank closely following his lead

28:25

what's new and of a traveling partner of is

28:27

he began quickly the used to live down

28:30

moose jaw rapids way that

28:32

so said hank and

28:35

a useful a sort of fellow the

28:37

in morris all the idea

28:39

the men had was to stop the tongue wagon before

28:41

the discrepancies became so glaring

28:44

at we should be forced to take notice of them

28:46

and ask questions just

28:49

as well try and stop and angry bull moose on the

28:51

run or prevent beaver creek freezing

28:53

and midwinter by throwing pebbles near the shore

28:57

out came the know the discrepancy

28:59

this time was insignificant it

29:01

somehow brought us all in a second face

29:03

to face with the inevitable and dreaded climax

29:07

the i tramp over that little bit

29:09

of an island hope and he might somehow

29:12

have gotten in without my know and and know ways

29:14

they can i heard that awful last cry

29:16

of his in the darkness in

29:18

a night drop down and pillage replace

29:21

like a damn thick blanket out of the sky

29:24

and allies fell away from

29:26

his face hank hooked

29:28

up the logs with has been more

29:31

see the number in his bare fingers delight

29:33

is pipe although is already meeting clouds

29:35

of smoke the professor caught

29:38

the ball flying that

29:40

you said he sank without a crime the

29:43

remarks quietly looking straight up into

29:45

the frightened face opposite and then

29:47

riddling mercilessly confused

29:49

explanation that followed the

29:52

cumulative effect while these forces

29:55

have to so rigorously repressed

29:58

they'll made it so felt the circle

30:00

spontaneously broke up everybody

30:02

move and at once by com an instinct the

30:06

professors wife left the party abruptly

30:08

with excuses bad an early start the next

30:10

morning he shook hands with

30:12

rustin mumbling something about his comfort

30:15

in the night question

30:17

a comfort however evolved

30:19

by force of circumstances upon

30:21

myself and he shared my tent

30:25

there's before wrapping up in my

30:27

double blankets for the night was

30:29

bitterly cold he turned

30:31

and began to explain that he had a habit of talking

30:34

and asleep and hoped i would wake

30:36

him if he disturbs me by doing so

30:39

well

30:40

he did talk and asleep and

30:42

disturbed me very much indeed the

30:45

anger and violence of his words

30:48

remain with me to this day it

30:51

was clear and a minute and he was

30:53

live and over again some portion

30:56

of the scene upon the lake listen

30:59

to horror struck for a moment

31:02

or two and then understood that

31:04

i was face to face with one or two alternatives

31:08

the must continue and unwilling

31:10

eavesdropper grandma's

31:12

waken him former

31:14

was impossible for me it i

31:16

shrank from the ladder with the greatest repugnant

31:20

in my dilemma i saw the only way

31:22

out of the difficulty in at once

31:24

accepted it although

31:26

it was the crowd stealth

31:29

away out of my warm sleeping bags unless

31:31

the tent intending to keep

31:33

the old fire lied under the stars and spend

31:35

the remaining hours till daylight in the open

31:38

soon as i got out i noticed

31:40

at once that figure moving

31:43

sale only along the shore it

31:45

was hanged milligan it was point enough

31:47

what it was doing the was examining

31:49

the whole that have been cut in the upper ribs of a

31:51

canoe look have

31:54

ashamed when i came up to him and mumbled

31:56

something about not being able to sleep with cold

32:00

they're standing together beside the overturned

32:02

canoe though saw

32:04

that the holes were far too small

32:06

for a man's hand and arm and

32:09

could not possibly have been cut by two

32:11

men hanging on for their lives and deepwater

32:14

those holes had been made

32:16

afterwards

32:19

hank said nothing to me nice

32:21

said nothing to hank presently

32:24

moved off to collect logs for the fire

32:26

which needed replenishing for it was piercingly

32:29

cold night there were many

32:31

degrees of frost three

32:34

days later hang consumer affairs

32:36

followed with stumbling footsteps the

32:38

old indian trail that leads from beaver creek

32:41

to the southwards the

32:43

hammock was slung between a month it

32:45

weighed heavily neither

32:48

of the main complaint and indeed

32:50

speech between and was almost nothing

32:54

their thoughts however we're

32:56

exceedingly busy and

32:58

the terrible secret other words which

33:00

form their burden wade far

33:02

more heavily than the and coos shifting

33:05

mass that lay in the swinging hammock

33:07

swinging touch so severely at their shoulders

33:11

they had found it in ,

33:13

feet of water not more than a couple yards

33:15

from the lease or the island in

33:17

the back in the head was along

33:20

terrible wound

33:22

which no man could possibly have inflicted

33:25

upon himself

33:36

haunted tomorrow the

33:38

riddle

33:41

there was a town all that was said to be haunted

33:44

33:47

to test their courage and

33:49

they looked into the tunnel it was pitch

33:51

black and the girl started to lose

33:53

their nerve they decided

33:55

to hold hands and run through the tunnel

33:58

i ran through the darkness they didn't stop

34:01

running until they reached the end they

34:03

came out the other side without anything

34:05

happening to them the girls were gasping

34:07

for breath and laughing holding

34:10

hands made it less scary said

34:12

one girl i'm glad i was in

34:15

the middle said the other me

34:53

sweet summer day they're

34:55

35:01

one limbs stiff stretched

35:03

into the air steaming

35:05

with exhalations vile and dank

35:08
