'They come from Weybridge and Walton, and they said guns have been heard at Chertsey, heavy firing, and that soldiers told them to move out at once because the Martians are corning

At that time there was a strong feeling on the streets that the government should be blamed because they had not destroyed the Martians already.

The Martians at the bottom of the pit could no longer be seen, because the earth around it was now so high
