We traversed a trackless waste of moss which, bending to the pressure of broad tire
or padded foot, rose up again behind us, leaving no sign that we had passed. We
might indeed have been the wraiths of the departed dead upon the dead sea of that
dying planet for all the sound or sign we made in passing. It was the firstmarch of a
