He laid himself down in the road before the tower as it was moving along, lying on his face, with his arms stretched forwards.

Стр. 196 - Attached to it were six cables, of the size and length of a ship's cable, by which the people drew it along. Upon the tower were the priests and satellites of the idol, surrounding his throne. The idol is a block of wood, having a frightful visage painted black, with a distended mouth of a bloody colour.
