Climb ing was slow, .owing to Piggy's burden; in one band he carried a demijohn of gasoline, and the other firmly gripped a box on hi shoulders from which plaint ire sounds still Issued at intervals. Roberta, behind, .had Janet's cloak and the torch, the light of the latter enabling them to choose their footing. At the summit there was a de lay while Piggy cut a smalt branch from a tree and fashioned himself a biuageon, Dranaisning it .once or twice to test Its weight. He,lop "e7 also pried up the cover of the box.', "Yes; I'm lightly secured by. a couple of nails, so It could be easily remov ed.
