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
the school girls decided go there one evening
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
34:17
to said the third
34:20

34:49
remember my beloved what saying
34:51
we met by the roadside on that
34:53
sweet summer day they're
34:55
on a grassy couch with pebbles set
34:58
a loathsome body lay the
35:01
one limbs stiff stretched
35:03
into the air steaming
35:05
with exhalations vile and dank
35:08
in ruthless cynic fashion had
35:10
laid bare the swollen side
35:13
and flag earnest
35:15

35:52
with a request since gleam
35:56
and like a wave the maggots rose
35:58
and sell the murmuring flies
36:00
swirled around and busy strife
36:03
it seemed as though as fake breath came
36:05

38:47
at first they chalked it up to just being
38:49
frightened but the man kept telling
