Chapter XV
BOUND TO THE WHEEL Gerald Danvers was never able to realize how long he lay there. Blissful moments of unconsciousness came with awful awakenings to the reality of that painful binding. Every time he moved the cords seemed to attain the heat of redness, and to burn into his flesh. Thirst--that was the most awful feeling. He had not been there an hour before he was assailed with it.
