The Most Dangerous Game
Richard Connell

1 "OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a large island," said Whitney. "It's rather a mystery--"

2 "What island is it?" Rainsford asked.

3 "The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied." A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition--"

4 "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

5 "You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "and I've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."

6 "Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

7 "It will be light enough in Rio," promised Whitney. "We should make it in a few days. I hope the jaguar guns have come from Purdey's. We should have some good hunting up the Amazon. Great sport, hunting."

8 "The best sport in the world," agreed Rainsford.

9 "For the hunter," amended Whitney. "Not for the jaguar."

10 "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?"

11 "Perhaps the jaguar does," observed Whitney.

12 "Bah! They've no understanding."

13 "Even so, I rather think they understand one thing--fear. The fear of pain and the fear of death."

14 "Nonsense," laughed Rainsford. "This hot weather is making you soft, Whitney. Be a realist. The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters."
