Excerpt: ...Cavor's feet receding. Then he stopped also. Bedford, he whispered; there's a sort of light in front of us. I looked, and at first could see nothing. Then I perceived his head and shoulders dimly outlined against a fainter darkness. I saw, also, that this mitigation of the darkness was not blue, as all the other light within the moon had been, but a pallid gray, a very vague, faint white, the daylight colour. Cavor noted this difference as soon, or sooner, than I did, and I think, too, that it filled him with much the same wild hope. Bedford, he whispered, and his voice trembled.

Excerpt: ...Cavor's feet receding. Then he stopped also. Bedford, he whispered; there's a sort of light in front of us. I looked, and at first could see nothing. Then I perceived his head and shoulders dimly outlined against a fainter darkness.

I am certain it comes from above! He made no answer, but hurried on. Indisputably it was a gray light, a silvery light. In another moment we were beneath it. It filtered down through a chink in the walls of the cavern, and as I stared up, drip, came a drop of water upon my face. I started and stood aside-drip, fell another drop quite audibly on the rocky floor. Cavor, I said, if one of us lifts the other, he can reach that crack! I'll lift you, he said, and incontinently hoisted me as though I was a baby. I thrust an arm into the crack, and just at my finger tips found a little ledge by which I could hold.
