Its muzzle ectly toward the hole hirh the creek found its path of exit to the lake. Jim w'cuied in. The water was cold, but with the heated overflow from the swimming pool on the other side of the rock barrier, it did not have the deadly cramping chill as it swirled against his legs. He pushed past the flat stumbling over water- ounded stones, and reached the cavern entrance. The path ho followed ended abruptly in cold, damp stone.

He left his rock path, waded into this new pool, found the undersurface opening which let water gush through. A large enough opening so the force of water was not too great for passage. He tilled his lungs and ciove beneath the surface. He inched along the passage, clawing at any projection from the water- smoothed walls which would give scant handholds. His ears were roaring, his lungs bursting with the spent oxygen burned in the effort of his progress.

He kept his eyes open even against the pressure of moving water which sent an ache clear to the back of his head. Was that light, shining through clear water? He began raising his head carefully toward what he hoped would be the surface. The ache of his lungs increased the spoed of that rise, the demand for air was greater than the mental command for caution. There was no warning. There was nothing but a flash ci shock.

There was a vagutf dream world of strange comfort and quick motion. There vas another and more violent shock. 19M by Uiweuct by NEA icnicv, I Jim found himself back in the blinding sunlight, pressed against the ledge from which he had fallen into the first pool. But that jolt and the shock of light had cleared his head enough so pain registered. Pain and determination.

He pulled himself into shallow I water, splashed along the creek, fell full length on the bank neai his jeep. He coughed, retched, i managed at hist to replace some water with life-giving air. He pulled himself to his began crawling toward thtf jeep His strength came back quickly, let him get erect, into the car. He started the motor, left the jecij) in low gear and drove up the winding road. His panting i breath seemed to keep time with the snarl of the motor.

TIM did not overestimate his ability. He knew he did not have the strength to try again against the current. But from the other side, with the current. The idea of a possible passageway through the huge rock base of Head had occurred to him, of course. It had been something to be checked, just as the possibility of a ledge along the base of the cliff near the lake must be checked.

Obviously such a possibility had occurred to Nancy. He drove faster now, and he still hoped. Perhaps Nancy, with her smaller but strong young body, would have been able to negotiate the passage. Perhaps she had been able to control herself, had not stood up so quickly as to knock herself silly against rock ceiling as he believed he had done. Perhaps he would find her, dripping and thrilled with the idea of tier contribution, at the end of the creek near the heated swimming pool.
