These pilings of Pelion upon Ossa seem to me, when looked at in this light, a mere waste of time.
"I don't see why it wouldn't be just as easy, or easier," he replied, "to cross here on pilings, practically the whole distance, as it would be to fill and bridge, too.

Around three of the pilings brush and grass had gathered, picked up from the current. The middle pile was highest. Rick decided to head for it. Scotty was also searching for a hiding place.
