TRAPPED BY A ROCK SLIDE =.

Warren Brentwood stood studying
the sky from the doorway of a pho
togrnphcr'B shop In Hamilton. Ber-
mudn. Then he turned and spoke 10
his employer
"Mr Wallace. may I have this aft
ornOOn off instead Of tomorrow aft
ornoun2'
"il doesn't make any difference 10
mo" gruuted Mr.. Wallace unaim-
ably 'Af,cr more pictures, / sup
pose?"
yes" replied Warren. flushing
for his employer had little faith IN
his Photographic ability. II think
there win bo some good cloud cf-
fccts."
Il don't SEQ how you can afford
to waste so much money on pie
turos.' went on Mr. Wallace. Not
on your salary and you with q
mother 10 support. Rank foolish
uoss, I call It,"
Warren did not reply for II was n
sore subject, Mr.. wallace. after n
fcw more gnrcastic remarks at his
clerks expense, fell silent also.
Mr.. Wullaco's shop was largely
supported by the Thousands OF Amer
lean tourists that flock 60 Bermuda
every winter They buy eagerly for
souvenirs artistic prints OF Charac-
teristiC Bcrmuduu scenes. II WnH
/ this trade that Warren had I'm mind
| for he know that II he could get
some now and beautiful pictures he
could increase mn income that. as
Mr.. Wallace had said. WAS too small.
| lie had found n scene that he was
| sure would make n most popular
/ picture ~ skllfully handled, but had
not yet succeeded In getting a satls-
| factory negative. lie was almost
ready 10 give up for he could not
stand the expense for materials. To-
| day Hs hc sped home on his bicycle
! no decided that II he were not sue
cessful that afternoon ho would
have TO stop work with his camera
/ for some time.
Warren strapped his camera to his
| bicycle and set out for the south
shore. The vicw he wished to take
was obtained from the top Of a high
Clift overlooking tho sea, There he
worked all the afternoon. At last he
had several exposures that he was
sure would yield good negatives.
II was late when Warren was
ready to 60 home. lie had un-
screwed his tripod and laid II on the
ground while he strapped his camera
To his bicycle. Just ~ he finished
doing this he was startled by a crane
that flew near him. As he started,
his foot struck the tripod ana sent
1t over tho cliff.
Warren was much veNed at this
for he would have to go fun quar-
ter OF mile TO find n path to lead
him down tho cliff. Also the clouds
were now banking solidly, the wind
wns getting stronger and It was owl
dent that a storm was about tC
break. lie decided 10 take his cam
era with him so he could shelter Il
from the rain IL IL should come soon
II was well that he did 40 for tn,
rain hogan to pour down just as HI
reached his tripod. Warren took
shelter with his camera I'm one OF thC
numerous small caverns that the sea
had followed out In the soft rock
OF the cliff. There he waited for The
rain TO stop.
In many places along the cliff the
strata Of rock were tilted. =" hctlrno,
almost perpendicularly. Just ab0v'
the cavern that Warren entered wal
ono OF these tilted layers of black
ened rock. II slnntcd steeply bach
from the upper edge OF the caves
mouth, over which It projected for'u
few inches much like the caves OF a
steep roof.
. As Warren sat there watching the
, rain and the sea, suddenly there wa,
/ a dun grinding jar, the sea was blot
/ tod from his sight and he was slttinf
In darkness! A section OF tho tilted
rock had slipped down and trapped
hint
AZ first he sat stunned, Then HI
sprang up, panic stricken, ana thrus
!, with all his might nt the rock. H'
