Altamont had already swung his hatchet to strike, when he was arrested by a well known voice, exclaiming   "For Heaven's sake, stop!" "The Doctor! the Doctor!" cried Johnson.

Every minute the sound came nearer, till at last only a thin coating separated them from their assailants. Presently this gave way with a loud crack, and a huge dark mass rolled over into the room.
