Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...two feet wide, with a wall on one side and what appeared misty, bottomless space on the other. Here the Indians had fastened a hand-rope which each was glad enough to clutch as he wormed his way along to safer ground. "Well, I don\'t want any more of that!" said Earl, with a long sigh of relief. "A slip there, and it would be good-by, sure!" "Yes, and I guess they would never even get your body," added Randy.

"Now take it slow and be sure of one foot before you move the next," said Foster Portney, warning them again. "Dig as deeply into the ice and snow as you can. And abo... Views: 241
