Chapter XXXIII
During perhaps ten seconds the survivors watched the end of Thorpe's rope trailing in the flood. Then the young man with a deep sigh began to pull it towards him. At once a hundred surmises, questions, ejaculations broke out. “What happened?” cried Wallace Carpenter. “What was that man's name?” asked the Chicago journalist with the eager instinct of his profession.
