The curve to the path has always been the same.
While my trial plummet at all times has indicated the same slope to the rocky basin.
And then for the first time, two certain words made use of by that learned master of masters Don Foom, till then a mystery to me, stood out before my eyes as if written with a pen upon those black walls thousands of feet below the great world of light which I had quitted a few hours before.
Those words were polyphemous' funnel.
Yes, there could be no doubt of it.
I had reached the bottom of the giant's well.
I stood upon the edge of Polyphemus's funnel.

My despair upon finding the pipe of the funnel too small for my body.
A ray of hope breaks in upon me, full account of how I succeeded in entering the pipe of the funnel.
My passage through it.
Bulgar's timely aid
The marble highway and some curious things concerning the entrance to the world within a world.
The rocky sides of Polyphemus' funnel were apparently as well polished as those of any tin funnel that I had ever seen hanging in the kitchen of Castle Trump.
So making fast my tackle, and taking Bulgar in my arms, away we went sliding down the side, with the line passed under my arm for safety's sake.
It was nearly a hundred feet to the bottom, for I had measured off the full length of my line before I had come to the apex of this gigantic cone.
And not caring to tumble headlong down its pipe, I proceeded to light a taper and look about me.
Ah, dear friends, I can feel that shudder now so terrible was it, and what wonder too, for a glance at the pipe of the funnel told me that it was too small to let my body pass through.
The agonizing thought flashed through my mind that I had committed a terrible error, that I had mistaken some vast pit for the giant's well.
