Night falls as our camp near the stamping ground at the Indians comes alive with experiments in a phonograph. Vantine boasts of new success while preparations, curious sounds, and a bamboo toy provide a makeshift concert under a petrol torch. A man crosses himself repeatedly, deep in ritual or ritualized fear.
In a tense scene Vantine chases a stolen phonograph through a savage crowd while Professor DeMoralhos warns of attack. The boss orders porters to fetch the instrument as Horace Jr. fumbles with his violin, and the narrator follows, fearing violence and ruin of the mission.
Fragmentary excerpt describes Horace C. Vantine Sr and Horace Jr reacting to perceived earthquake fear as they leave a bush concealed camp amid savage threats. Dialogue hints at danger behind them and vigilance for remaining attackers.
