He would let himself think of-Nancy caught in some -underwater crevice, fighting out the last of her life in a useless struggle against unfeeling rock and surging water.

Ho drove fast, but the minutes were ages long until he reached thR swimming pool, deserted now, arid left his jeep. This time at least he did have the forethought to take a flashlight along from the filove Compartment. At this end of the cavern, there was a well-worn path at the side for the first 50 feet. His light shone down into the translucent water, showed innumerable fish darting around in the glow. The path showed signs of many feet, but not of recent passing of wet feet.

There was no evidence of water drops falling from soaking clothes. Not until he himself passed through the cave to the. ending wall of ropk. der, pains which registered even on his clouding brain. The rock moved toward him a little.
