The Jacket (The Star-Rover)

CHAPTER X
13/16

And, having robbed me of that, my body was defenceless, and, with his foot in my back while he drew the lacing light, he constricted me as no man had ever before succeeded in doing.

So severe was this constriction of my frail frame upon my vital organs that I felt, there and then, immediately, that death was upon me.

And still the miracle of faith was mine.
