The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft: continuous use, and despite the special dry cell formula, would
obviously be good for only about four more - though by keeping
one torch unused, except for especially interesting or difficult
places, we might manage to eke out a safe margin beyond that.
It would not do to be without a light in these Cyclopean catacombs,
hence in order to make the abyss trip we must give up all further
mural deciphering. Of course we intended to revisit the place
for days and perhaps weeks of intensive study and photography
- curiosity having long ago got the better of horror - but just
now we must hasten.
