from that drug!" he cried.
But he was cut short by Campbell's cry. "Look! Look!" cried the
inspector, pointing back at the black cliffs.
In the starlight the whole cliff was collapsing, with a prolonged,
terrible roar as of grinding planets, its face breaking and buckling.
The waters around them boiled furiously, whirling them this way and
that.
Then the waters quieted. They found they had been flung near a sandy
spit beyond the shattered cliffs, and they swam toward it.
"The whole underground honeycomb of caverns and tunnels gave way and the
sea poured in!" Campbell cried. "The Door, and the Brotherhood of the
Door, are ended for ever!"
