little bridge that spanned ravine, and,
when we reached it, was surprised and q

to the bridge. noticed, too, that Lieu
tenant Grant was very quiet, and that and
the high water bothered me. l asked
several times if he thought the writer dan
gerous to breast, and told him would go
back rather than take any risk. He as
sured me, in his brief way, that it was
perfectly safe, and in my heart l relied
upon him. Just as we reached the old
bridge said: "Now, If anything happens,
remember l shall cling to you, no matter
what you say to the contrary" He sim
ply said: GAIL right and we were over
the planks in less than minute. Then
his mood changed, he became more social
