"Thc crossing of the river would be
difficult there, we knew, but there were
rapids above as we'll as below. Besides,
we were following one OF those age-old bush
paths, so we knew that that must be the
easiest place to get over.
"Thc river was scarcely two hundred
feet wide there, but deep and swift, gath
ering itself for its tremendous leap over
the falls. We made raft; then couple
of negroes swan across, starting upstream,
and made landing, carrying the end of a
cable with them.
"That cable was part of my duties. l

hungry for them.
"Thc porters crossed first with their
loads, ten trips back and forth for the
raft, twenty terrific strains on that cable,
pulling the clumsy affair along hand over

Carroll could see it too. The room
was gone, and he was smelling tho acrid
smoke of that fire, looking at the man
himself, stocky, gray-haircd, command

eycs-a man who would have been so i'm
measurably greater had he not insisted on
being, all the time, just as great as he
was.
HAWKE had told Carroll of that night
in those last days at Ngombe: how he
had gone to that fire with the intention of
apologizng to Banning; it had dawned
on him, for perhaps the first time in his
life, that he had been unjust. And that
break in his shell of self-sufficiency seemed
the very thing that had destroyed him.
Carroll wondered if that were because it
had not broken enough? A smash will
sometimes set free, where a crack will
only squeeze.

it rang out among the trees, so that one
could almost taste the bitterness of it in
the air-probably the first time any one
had ever laughed in that place, and God
knows there was no mirth in it.

tent, listening. That was the night he
wrote those lines on page 2O5-thc last
he ever wrote; for that was the night be-
