TREASURE ISLAND 035 – XXVII“Pieces of Eight” – 008
The moon was climbing higher and higher, its light began to fall here and there in masses through the more open districts of the wood, and right in front of me a glow of a different colour appeared among the trees.It was red and hot, and now and again it was a little darkened—as it were, the embers of a bonfire smouldering.For the life of me I could not think what it might be.At last I came right down upon the borders of the clearing.The western end was already steeped in moonshine; the rest, and the block house itself, still lay in a black shadow chequered with long silvery streaks of light.On the other side of the house an immense fire had burned itself into clear embers and shed a steady, red reverberation, contrasted strongly with the mellow paleness of the moon.There was not a soul stirring nor a sound beside the noises of the breeze.I stopped, with much wonder in my heart, and perhaps a little terror also.
