"Don't let him go down the rapids, father," said George; "you'll never get past the thick bushes that overhang the bank."
"Finally, the action of the alcohol still extending, the superior brain centres are overpowered; the senses are beclouded, the voluntary muscular prostration is perfected, sensibility is lost, and the body lies a mere log, dead by all but one-fourth, on which alone its life hangs.
