And then they saw. Somewhere back of the men, and below the floor, was the source whence the sound came. Dimly, like a moving impressionistic painting of some fearful engine, slowly rotated a great wheel, and from it seemed to come these sounds, which now could be separated from each other in THE MAN IN CRIMSON 363 culminating cries of anguish, as if a thousand steel traps were snapping on creatures penned up for tor ture. As their eyes cleared, they saw that the dang ling forms were those of s...wine, and realized that the trap was closing, every second, on a helpless animal; that theirs were the cries screamed so dolefully forth, hour after hour, from the building, as the poor beasts felt the clutch of the traps upon their legs, and were hoisted with diabolical deliberation, in a succession of pitiless tragedies, and carried, heads down, on the revolving "Ferris wheel/' on to the place where each scream went suddenly broken and choked as some thing happened something after which a spouting and reeking throat swung over toward the steaming tank, awaiting immersion in which hung a close- packed cluster of black carcasses, their blood-choked coughings and dying convulsions growing less and less, until they went rolling from their gyves of death into the scalding water.
