They ground and clashed together in furious confusion as the river spun them; the greater ones up-ended themselves, casting off muddy cascades. From the depths of the flood came a grinding and crunching as ice met rock. Spellbound, the girls watched that first wave go tearing out of sight, filling the river bank-full.
