The beast, possessing that well-known trait of the feline tribe which causes it to shrink from water, might not follow him into the creek. A long log, the end of which had caught upon the bank, swung its length into the stream, forming a boom against which light drift-stuff had gathered; the swift current foamed about the timber as though vexed at this delay to its progress.
It was a heavy rowboat, so stained and waterlogged in appearance that it might have been taken for a bit of drift-stuff that had been brought in to the Red Mill landing by the current. And truly, that is probably the means by which the miller had originally obtained the boat.
Then Jim Hooley cast his glance that way and yelled through his megaphone: "Jump, Miss Fielding! Quick! Jump into the river!" But at that moment the man on the boom started for the shore, running frantically for safety. The key log split with a raucous sound. The water and drift-stuff, in a mounting wave, poured through the gap, and the noise of it deafened Ruth Fielding to all other sounds.
