"Help!" rang out one choked-off cry, as in a great rush of suddenly foaming flood, over the dam plunged a boat and a terrorized boy.

Such a man was the victim either of a wrong education, an education of repression that discouraged any personal display, or he had a twist in his temperament.

Taylor thought he heard a choked-off scream. Orkins. He gritted his teeth grimly. There was only one link of hope in Taylor's chain of thought. There must always be a check to every form of life.
