King Solomon's Mines Chapter 18

In which our weary travellers find themselves imprisoned in a dark and silent chamber, surrounded by treasures that now seem worthless against the threat of death, and their despair gives way to cautious hope as they discover a hidden exit leading into a labyrinthine network of tunnels. Battling exhaustion, darkness, and a swift subterranean river, they finally emerge into the fresh air and the dawn, greeted by familiar faces whose joy echoes their own relief at this escape from the grave.
