Accordingly, sliding over the edge of the bridge, Woodburn was gradually let down by the strong and steady hands of the settler, till he was swinging in the air, on a level with that part of the approaching mass on which stood the half-senseless object of his perilous adventure.

"He has cracked up," said Acton, in despair, and he gripped the half-senseless youth with frenzied strength. "This is the way you're to go with me!" he yelled.
