The
horse
had
stopped
short
,
and
stood
firm
as
a
rock
.
Zeb
shook
the
reins
and
urged
him
to
go
,
but
Jim
was
stubborn
.
Then
the
boy
cracked
his
whip
and
touched
the
animal
s
flanks
with
it
,
and
after
a
low
moan
of
protest
Jim
stepped
slowly
along
the
road
.
62
Neither
the
boy
nor
the
girl
spoke
again
for
some
minutes
63
There
was
a
breath
of
danger
in
the
very
air
,
and
every
few
moments
the
earth
would
shake
violently
.
Jim
s
ears
were
standing
erect
upon
his
head
and
every
muscle
of
his
big
body
was
tense
as
he
trotted
toward
home
.
He
was
not
going
very
fast
,
but
on
his
flanks
specks
of
foam
began
to
appear
and
at
times
he
would
tremble
like
a
leaf
.

The
sky
had
grown
darker
again
and
the
wind
made
queer
sobbing
sounds
as
it
swept
over
the
valley
.
65
Suddenly
there
was
a
rending
,
tearing
sound
,
and
the
earth
split
into
another
great
crack
just
beneath
the
spot
where
the
horse
was
standing
.
With
a
wild
neigh
of
terror
the
animal
fell
bodily
into
the
pit
,
drawing
the
buggy
and
its
occupants
after
him
.
66
Dorothy
grabbed
fast
hold
of
the
buggy
top
and
the
boy
did
the
same
.
The
sudden
rush
into
space
confused
them
so
that
they
could
not
think
.
67
Blackness
engulfed
them
on
every
side
,
and
in
breathless
silence
they
waited
for
the
fall
to
end
and
crush
them
against
jagged
rocks
or
for
the
earth
to
close
in
on
them
again
and
bury
them
forever
in
its
dreadful
depths
.

The
horrible
sensation
of
falling
,
the
darkness
and
the
terrifying
noises
,
proved
more
than
Dorothy
could
endure
and
for
a
few
moments
the
little
girl
lost
consciousness
.
Zeb
,
being
a
boy
,
did
not
faint
,
but
he
was
badly
frightened
,
and
clung
to
the
buggy
seat
with
a
tight
grip
,
expecting
every
moment
would
be
his
last
.
69
When
Dorothy
recovered
her
senses
they
were
still
falling
,
but
not
so
fast
.
The
top
of
the
buggy
caught
the
air
like
a
parachute
or
an
umbrella
filled
with
wind
,
and
held
them
back
so
that
they
floated
downward
with
a
gentle
motion
that
was
not
so
very
disagreeable
to
bear
.
The
worst
thing
was
their
terror
of
reaching
the
bottom
of
this
great
crack
in
the
earth
,
and
the
natural
fear
that
sudden
death
was
about
to
overtake
them
at
any
moment
.
Crash
after
crash
echoed
far
above
their
heads
,
as
the
earth
came
together
where
it
had
split
,
and
stones
and
chunks
of
clay
rattled
around
them
on
every
side
.
These
they
could
not
see
,
but
they
could
feel
them
pelting
the
buggy
top
,
and
Jim
screamed
almost
like
a
human
being
when
a
stone
overtook
him
and
struck
his
boney
body
.
They
did
not
really
hurt
the
poor
horse
,
because
everything
was
falling
together
;
only
the
stones
and
rubbish
fell
faster
than
the
horse
and
buggy
,
which
were
held
back
by
the
pressure
of
the
air
,
so
that
the
terrified
animal
was
actually
more
frightened
than
he
was
injured
.
70
How
long
this
state
of
things
continued
Dorothy
could
not
even
guess
,
she
was
so
greatly
bewildered
.
But
bye
and
bye
,
as
she
stared
ahead
into
the
black
chasm
with
a
beating
heart
,
she
began
to
dimly
see
the
form
of
the
horse
Jim
his
head
up
in
the
air
,
his
ears
erect
and
his
long
legs
sprawling
in
every
direction
as
he
tumbled
through
space
.
Also
,
turning
her
head
,
she
found
that
she
could
see
the
boy
beside
her
,
who
had
until
now
remained
as
still
and
silent
as
she
herself
.
