working on top OF the dam ducked
instinctively 10 right and left and be-

men below, at first bewildered and not
comprehending. finally understood and
ran toward the face OF the jam with
the intention OF clambering up IL. There
could be no escape In the narrow can

sheer.
Then the flood hit square. A great
sheet OF water rose like surf from the
tall of the jam; mighty cataract pour

free logs; from either wing timbers
crunched, split, rose suddenly into
wracked prominence, twisted beyond
the semblance OF themselves. Here
and there single logs were even pro-
jected bodily upward, as an apple seed
is shot from between the thumb and
