With limbs which almost refused to

the end Of the log and stood upon the

but a moment behind him. In their

engineer was so dizzy and i'll he could
scarcely stand.

Keeth. still unable TO look over the
cliffs edge without shuddering.
But wot are we goin' to do now?"
demanded Fitch.
Come" said the engineer, shaking
himself together We must find some
way to descend this bluff. We must
find Jose's body and give it decent
burial, at least. The river is full Of
eddies and snags. It may be along
shore there"
We've got Yourselves to think ct
first" objected Fitch.
"Oh, come along; let's be unseIfsh,"
said Ford. The poor chap is dead,
of course; but, as Keeth says, we may
recover the body. I believe he'd done
as much for one of us. I must say

Keeth was already examining the
rugged face Of the bluff It was not
all rock; there were some treacher-
Gus looking gravel slopes. In a few
moments he began to descend. and
his comrades. trusting themselves to
his leadership. followed. He had
found the only place in the bluff. as
far as they could see, where descent
was possible; but when they got
within thirty feet or so of the foots
they were forced to halt. From that
point the place was a sheer precipice.

reached the point where the rope had
been left dangling from the protruding
boulder, and Keith prepared to
mount.
I'll go UP first and give you a

Fitch up, guess"
He laid hold of the hemp and began
to ascend hand over hand. bracing
his feet against the rock as ne went
He had not gone up a dozen feet,
however, when something gave way
above. He dropped several feet and
the gravel and broken rock fell about
him in a shower.
Great Heavens. KEITH shouted
Ford. Come back The whole cliff
is falling!"
The trader caught him by the legs
and pulled him down. Through the
falling debris they could see the huge
boulder, around which the rope had
been fastened, topping slowly out

hands and ran with him along the
beach. An instant later the mass Of
rock had fallen directly upon the spot
on which they had stood. Tons upon

rock and a huge assure was made IN
