We had wormed our way very close to the computed site of the tunnel's mouth-having crossed a second-story bridge to what seemed plainly the tip of a pointed wall, and descended to a ruinous corridor especially rich in decadently elaborate and apparently ritualistic sculptures of late workmanship-when, about 8:30 P.M., Danforth's keen young nostrils gave us the first hint of something unusual.
Tuneletan barrena ibili, bigarren solairuko zubi bat zeharkatu punta formako horma-ertz bateraino eta estilo berantiarreko erliebe dekadente erritual-edo ugari zeukan korridore higatu batera iritsi ginen, tunelaren kalkulatutako kokapenetik nahiko gertu; orduan, 20:30ak baino lehentxeago, Danforth gaztearen usaimen finak ezohiko zerbaiten lehenbiziko zantzuak antzeman zituen.
