CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
When they came to the sun was already high in the sky.
On his back, Lloyd looked up at the sheer face of a cliff some dozen meters in height and the way that he now felt, he knew that the climb up would be difficult.
Boyce was lying on his stomach and he was regaining consciousness, too. He soon tried to push himself up off the ground and this he tried a few times.
Lloyd heard him finally stagger to his knees and he called to him.
"Boyce!" he said. "Are you hurt?"
"No — just a little sore!" he replied.
"Look at that!" Lloyd pointed to the cliff and upwards.
Boyce looked at it then he said the same thing pointing in the opposite direction.
Lloyd looked and there he saw rolling mountains and shrubs and deep gullies of rock. What he saw was the tail end of the great Krolalin Mountain Range that swung down from the north to the south-west.
