He found a cartridge from a pistol and realized that a hunter had probably killed his quarry with the bullets that had been it. At last, we saw a lot of lights and was sure he was imagining a mirage. He approached the structure and lifted the grotesque gargoyle, hoping someone would answer the door. He was greeted by an ugly giant, holding a shotgun. Rainsford tried to be disarming and explained that he was really quite an innocent man who fell off a yacht. Yes or No?
