Passing under the cantilever bridge

disappear.
The strange craft turned over and

until il passed a bend in the river, and
the most perilouS part of the journey
had been passed. Shooting into the
whirlpool the Foolkiller swung around
and went down like a fishing bob, but
rose again quickly. For the next five
minutes Bowser and his boat circled
around the whirlpool. Shortly before
