"One is to try and go down the rapids on the raft."
"And the other," added Ulna, "is to remain where the raft now is and starve to death."
"And have you a choice, Ulna."
"Yes, I have."
"What is it?"
"If I am to die, I want to die resisting."
"Then you are for trying the rapids?"
"I am; but I shall do as you say."
"I say 'go on.'"
Sam reached out and took Ulna's hand, and so they stood for some minutes looking at the frightful rapids which they had decided to face.
