Father and son precipitated themselves unexpectedly upon the traveler. Each took him by a leg, and both being large and robust men, raised him erect over his saddle, giving at the same time a thump with their knees to his horse's belly.

We stayed for a moment to peer down its depths and to catch a sight of the dark waters lying deep within it.

"I'm a beast!" he ejaculated, astonished.
His nerves were threatening to overcome him, now; he had not counted upon any such hitch as this: but fear sharpened his wits. He recollected the fall which he had sustained, and how he had been precipitated upon the polished floor, outside. Could he have mistaken his direction?
