From donkey to a ten-foot jump-off on the lake shore in a straight line on a five per cent. gradient ran a curious roadway, made by placing two logs in the hollow scooped by tearing great timbers over the soft earth, and a bigger log on each side.
They'll not have heard of Port Nassau, over there, nor of the little nest at Sabines; and with Lady Caroline to give us a jump-off I have her promise. She runs a Chapel of her own, somewhere off St. James's. Give me a chance to preach to the fashionable let me get a foot inside the pulpit door and, with you to turn their heads in the Mall below, strike me if I wouldn't finish up a Bishop!
"The very place," returned Bunker Hill proudly, "you can find their skeletons there to this day." "Well, for cripe's sake," murmured Big Boy at last and looked up at the cliff again. "Some jump-off," observed Bunker, but Big Boy did not hear him he was looking up at the sun. "Say," he said, "when the sun rises in the morning how far out does that shadow come?" "What shadow?" demanded Bunker Hill.

"Yes, to-morrow by sun," said Banion, swinging out of saddle and forgetting any errand he might have had. "Then it's on to Oregon!" He nodded to Woodhull, who little more than noticed him.
After that it was a jump-off for six thousand feet, from the mountain-top to down below sea-level; and, before he lost himself in the gap between the hills, Wunpost paused and looked back across the plain. This was the door to his trap, for at the edge of the rim the trail split in twain; the Wet Trail leading past water while the Dry Trail was shorter, but dry.

A faint roar of trampling hoofs came to Jane's ears, and gradually swelled; low, rolling clouds of dust began to rise above the sage. "It's a stampede, an' a hummer," said Lassiter. "Oh, Lassiter! The herd's running with the valley! It leads into the canyon! There's a straight jump-off!" "I reckon they'll run into it, too. But that's a good many miles yet.
