"I felt him go as though a wind had blown him away.

Where he was there is nothing but a hole." Of a sudden the moon shone out from behind the clouds.

In its sickly light about half-way between us and the edge of the clearing, say thirty yards off, I saw--oh! what did I see! The devil destroying a lost soul.
At least, that is what it looked like.

A huge, grey-black creature, grotesquely human in its shape, had the thin Kalubi in its grip.

The Kalubi's head had vanished in its maw and its vast black arms seemed to be employed in breaking him to pieces.
Apparently he was already dead, though his feet, that were lifted off the ground, still moved feebly.
I sprang up and covered the beast with the rifle which was cocked, getting full on to its head which showed the clearest, though this was rather guesswork, since I could not see distinctly the fore-sight.
