AS l drew nearer, | saw a tall man
carrying the limp form of a boy
in his arms, and leading a shad-

Another moment, and a lifting
of the head that wore the lamp

Suddenly, not ten yards behind
me, there came tremendous
splitting noise, like wood giving
way under strain, and this was
instantly followed by a roaring
sound as of tons of coal falling.

answered: Don't give up, Dennis.
