like an eternity before the second clown came
stumbling out.
guess the crowd didn't get it for while
Sid Ashley was we'll out on the cable before the
thing registered, then once more the crowd
became silent.
Sid moved with the sure co ordination of the
master on slack wire. Balancing from the
waist. he raced across that cable as though
he'd been riding on rollers.
Crawford tried to struggle up, but couldn't
make it. He started untying the sheet when
Ashley was still fifteen feet away from the
abutment
ASHLEY took the kid and the sheet tied the
sling around his chest, took the pole Crawford
gave him. and came back across the eighty
one-foot gap. He hardly needed the pole, SO
straight and sure were his motions.
don't think he even heard the cheers of
the crowd He handed the kid to its mother,
turned right around, and went back over the
wet cable We could see him bending over
Crawford Then he was lifting Then Crawford
was riding piggyback.
It's one thing to carry man plggybaCk on
slack wire It's another thing to work your
way up wet cable with grown man on your
back
But Crawford was now helping in the
balancing and We could see his lips move as
he seemed to be steadying Ashley with his
voice.
1t was supreme test of nerve and skill. The
rain lashed down in torrents. The river, fed by
cloudbursts in the mountains, was a raging
torrent.
And here came Ashley, working his way
up the cable.
Nearer he came nearer nearer - then
suddenly he dropped the balancing pole,
reached out and caught the rail on the part of
the broken bridge that was still in place -
and was on firm ground once more.
The crowd went wild. They hoisted him on
heaving shoulders. The police sirens joined
with the automobile horns in a screeching
pandemonium of noise.
Crawford hobbled off to the cracker rbox
trailer.

something like two hundred feet at the most
but no swimmer on earth could have gone
through that torrent, and boat would have
been as useless as a chip of wood.
A big cable had supported water main and
gas conduit Now, all that was left was the
cable, which sagged drunkenly from the low
branches of a tree. across to the central pier
of the bridge - which was still standing =
and then over to the island. Water from the
broken water main was squirting out into the
muddy torrent The gas line had been swept
away, but the cable tangled in the tree
branches seemed firm enough to bear a mans
weight
Marge moved over to Sid Ashley sid, -
she asked, couldn't a slack ropewalker make

was standing where could see Sid's face.
If you We ever seen clown with makeup on
looking sick to the depths of his soul, it's
sight you'll never forget.
Sid Ashley saw me looking at him, and he
went over to the Cracker-boX trailer, like
whipped cur Sinking into his kennel. George
Crawford watched him until he was out of
sight. then Crawford went in after him.
Right there the bank of the river was high
enough to furnish protection, even if the
second dam did break; but water from the
second dam, added to what was in the river
now, would sweep clean over the island. As it
was, there was water over the trailer park
right now You could see it swirling around
the wheels of the trailers in the glare of the
police spotlights.
The police worked their two-way radios
A fire wagon showed up with red spotlights,
changing bells, and an extension ladder, but
they couldn't do any good.
Then out of the cracker-box trailer came
a figure saw him streak across to the wet
cable that was swaying drunkenly over the
stream A moment later, and the clown,
with his makeup, baggy pants, big red nose
and white paint around the mouth, was inch
ing out over the water.

the clown. He made the CEN

There was something in

wreckage on the center pier

ran out to the police cars. Put those
spotlights down low l yelled. Keep the
beams down low so he can see the cable. When
he turns back, don't get any illumination on
his face The glare will throw him off"
The officer in charge nodded and trans
mitted orders.
L HE clown was over on the island now. The
spotlights threw weird shadow as he sloshed
through the water that was halfway to his
waist.
Then, when he came out of the trailer
carrying the baby, the deep -throated yell that
went up sounded high above the noise of the
storm and the rushing water
The lights" yelled, get those lights
dotcn!''
The spotlights were lowered We could see
only the dim figure of the clown. He took
sheet and made sling for the baby, bound
it to his breast, then found long pole to use
for balance.
With that pole, there was nothing to it.
The townspeople stood spellbound. but |
knew it was in the bag. The cable was holding
firm as rock The kid was tied up snug in the
sling, and the balancing pole made it just like
getting money from home.
He reached the pier in the center of the
stream, and there was rousing cheer The
clown waved hand started across the uttered
wreckage, and then suddenly stopped with
peculiar wrenching twist. He tried to raise his
left leg. He couldn make it. His body twisted,
and he went down in the tangled, splintered
planking. Twice again he tried to get up, and
couldn't make it.
Somewhere back of me- woman sobbed.
Time just quit. Whatever the watches said
didn't mean anything. 1t could have been five
minutes that the figure remained on that mid
die abutment pinned motionless Apparently

Silence fell on the crowd so that the roar
of the water seemed louder than ever.
The clown knew his stuff His feet, in soft
soled shoes, moved swiftly. sliding along the
wet cable as though each foot had eyes IN the
toes and brains in the heels.

minutes after the broadcast. the island was
officially cleared. and the police reported to
headquarters over their radio.
The island was low, but the river had a
high firm bank We sat there and watched.
Through the lashing rain. it was possible to
hear the roar of water long before we could
see it, Then suddenly it came rushing at us
out of the night, vast surging torrent,
heaving and writhing on itself in frenzy of
destruction.
The bridge raised up like cats back -
then it buckled in the middle, turned to
kindling wood, and disappeared
The crest of the wave raced on. leaving
behind it flooded stream roaring in sullen
anger, racing down the river bed in a muddy
torrent.
Bulletins were coming in over the police car
radios: Upper dam is filled to overfowing,
spillways at greatest capacity, incapable OF
handling flood. If this dam goes out there
will be terrific loss of life Move everyone back
to higher ground - repeating, move everyone
back to higher ground. - Possibility OF
twenty-foot cress - Dam is still holding,
but condition critical. That is all.
1t was then that we heard the scream
You could take one look at the couple and
tell the sort of people they were. Slow
thinking, plodding people, dogged in their
determination, protected by an ingrained sus-
picion of everything they couldn't under
stand, rather than by intelligence.
Police gathered around the window.
1t wasn't much of story They had been
unable to save the trailer. The woman had
taken the kids and gone on across the bridge.
The father had stayed behind until the last
minute to save what he could, and then had
come across in the car. The mother thought
he had put the baby in the automobile: he
thought the mother had the baby with her
The kid was evidently still over there, asleep
in the trailer.
The spotlights on the police cars cut
through the rain to the island. 1t wasn't far,
