seemed to be dreadfully slow. The sight
Of the rapidly flowing river gave me a
queer sensation; il was that we were
moving up it at great rate and going
but very slowly toward the opposite
bank. Every now and then, in order to
give him a rest, 1 had to get off Blon-
din's back and stand behind him on the
rope, steadying myself with my hands
around his waist while he balanced
with the pole.
Imagine the situation-getting down
off a mans back hundreds of feet in
air-feeling for and standing On a taut
vibrating rope, and holding on to him,
clad in slippery tights, when the least
false move or loss Of presence of mind
on the part of one or other might
