The MostDangerous Game\n\nRichard Connell  \nThe MostDangerous Game  \nbyRichard Connell  \n“OFF THERE to the right--somewhere--is a  \nlarge island,\"said Whitney.\"It's rather a mystery-”  \n\"What island is it?\"Rainsford asked.  \n“The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,”Whitney replied.\"A suggestive name,isn't it?Sailorshave a curious dread of the place.I don't know why.Some superstition--“”  \n\"Can't see it,\"remarked Rainsford,trying to peerthrough the dank tropical night that was palpable as itpressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.  \n\"You've good eyes,\"said Whitney,with a laugh,\"and I've seen you pick off a moose moving in thebrown fall bush at four hundred yards,but even youcan't see four miles or so through a moonlessCaribbean night.”  \n\"Nor four yards,\"admitted Rainsford.“Ugh!It'slike moist black velvet.\"  \n\"It will be light enough in Rio,\"promisedWhitney.\"We should make it in a few days.I hopethe jaguar guns have come from Purdey's.We shouldhave some good hunting up the Amazon.Great sport,hunting.”  \n\"The best sport in the world,\"agreed Rainsford.  \n\"For the hunter,\"amended Whitney.\"Not for thejaguar.”  \n\"Don't talk rot,Whitney,\"said Rainsford.“You're a big-game hunter,not a philosopher.Whocares how a jaguar feels?\"  \n\"Perhaps the jaguar does,\"observed Whitney.  \n“Bah!They’ve no understanding.”  \n“Even so,I rather think they understand onething--fear.The fear of pain and the fear of death.”  \n\"Nonsense,\"laughed Rainsford.\"This hotweather is making you soft,Whitney.Be a realist.Theworld is made up of two classes--the hunters and thehuntees.Luckily,you and I are hunters.Do you thinkwe've passed that island yet?\"  \n\"I can't tell in the dark.I hope so.\"  \n\"Why?“asked Rainsford.  \n\"The place has a reputation--a bad one.\"  \n“Cannibals?”suggested Rainsford.  \n\"Hardly.Even cannibals wouldn’t live in such aGod-forsaken place.But it's gotten into sailor lore,somehow.Didn’t you notice that the crew's nervesseemed a bit jumpy today?”  \n\"They were a bit strange,now you mention it.Even Captain Nielsen--\"  \n\"Yes,even that tough-minded old Swede,who'dgo up to the devil himself and ask him for a light.Those fishy blue eyes held a look I never saw therebefore.All I could get out of him was This place hasan evil name among seafaring men,sir.'Then he saidto me,very gravely,`Don’t you feel anything?'--as ifthe air about us was actually poisonous.Now,youmustn't laugh when I tell you this--I did feelsomething like a sudden chill.  \n\"There was no breeze.The sea was as flat as aplate-glass window.We were drawing near the islandthen.What I felt was a--a mental chill;a sort of suddendread.\"  \n\"Pure imagination,\"said Rainsford.  \n“One superstitious sailor can taint the wholeship's company with his fear.”  \n\"Maybe.But sometimes I think sailors have anextra sense that tells them when they are in danger.Sometimes I think evil is a tangible thing--with wavelengths,just as sound and light have.An evil placecan,so to speak,broadcast vibrations of evil.Anyhow,I'm glad we're getting out of this zone.Well,I think I'll turn in now,Rainsford.\"  \n\"I’m not sleepy,\"said Rainsford.\"I’m going tosmoke another pipe up on the afterdeck.”  \n“Good night,then,Rainsford.See you atbreakfast.\"  \n\"Right.Good night,Whitney.\"  \nThere was no sound in the night as Rainsford satthere but the muffled throb of the engine that drovethe yacht swiftly through the darkness,and the swishand ripple of the wash of the propeller.  \nRainsford,reclining in a steamer chair,indolentlypuffed on his favorite brier.The sensuous drowsinessof the night was on him.\"It's so dark,\"he thought,\"that I could sleep without closing my eyes;the nightwould be my eyelids--\"C  \nAn abrupt sound startled him.Off to the right heheard it,and his ears,expert in such matters,couldnot be mistaken.Again he heard the sound,and again.Somewhere,off in the
