5. Over me swung an immense mass of metal, one touch of which would have crushed me to pieces; the floor under me was principally composed of crazy laths, and if they gave way I should be precipitated to the distance of about fifty feet upon a loft, which would, in all probability, have sunk under the impulse of my fall, and sent me to be dashed to atoms upon the marble floor of the chSiicel, a hundred feet below. 6. Every moment I saw the bell sweep within an inch of my face ; and my eyes — I ...could not close them, though to look at the object was bitter as death — followed it instingtively in its os'cillating" prOg'ress until it came back again.
