The doorway was made of only three stones, two huge monolithic door jambs, each seven feet high, nearly as wide and more than two feet thick.

Upon them rested a lintel also monolithic, but at least twenty feet in length, with a width of five feet and a thickness of three feet.

It was evident to Ned that mighty workmen had once toiled here.
"Is not that an entrance fit for a king ?" said the brigand captain, again making a dramatic gesture.
"It is fit for Captain Juan Carossa, which is more," said Obed White with suave courtesy.
Captain Carossa bowed.

Once more he deigned to be pleased with himself.
Then he led through the doorway and Ned uttered a little cry of admiration.

They stood in a great room with a magnificent row of monolithic pillars running down the center.
