“Why—why you never wanted to go before and I—I don’t think I can take you with me to-day.” They gulped their coffee and soon cast off, letting the stream carry them gently towards the face of the great obstruction. A few minutes later they saw the solution of this mystery. Under the cliff the river flowed swiftly and silently into a dark hole. Johnny Blossom shouted: “Olaf!
