LITTLE JAMES GOT PUSHED OVER THE SIDE
Crack! The cord snapped suddenly, and the two monkeys tumbled head over heels. Never mind; they got another cord to repair the damage, and this time they succeeded in pulling Little James clear of the mud.

“PULL, BROTHER, PULL, AND WE’LL SOON HAVE HIM OUT”
“Dear me!” said the first monkey, scratching his head. “This is very sad. The poor fellow has lost his legs. What shall we do?”
