I /» CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE We turned fr->m the valley floor, took « road that wan hardly more than a trail, and climbed to the bluff above. Lance pulled his ear over to a level spot, turned off hia motor. «<*t his brakes and dropped his head on hia arms over the steering wheel. 1 slipped my arms around h.'in and put my head close to his.... How long we sat there, silently, I do not know. The first streaks of dawn began to show over the tops of the oak trees behind us. The sound of the surf pounded in <>trr cars. The breeze freshened and tte» smell of salt spray was in our n’.strils. In the treca the birds scolded and twittered. After a while, Lance lifted his bead and I could sec his face. It was haggard and gray, unshaven and smudged. He ran a grimy hand through his wind-blown hair — somewhere, miles back along the roadway, his hat had gone—and there was something tragic and desperate in his voice. "1 may not have saved them all—” he said. ‘’But I did the best I could.” “1 hear something!’’ I said. “Sounds like a truck coining—or a lot of trucks.” Far away came a rumbling, roaring, grinding sound. It was like the rolling of giant boulders, one against the other. The sound seemed to eome down the valley like a great stream—to spread out when it reached the mouth of the canyon. “That's it!” Lance said. He looked at his watch again. “The dam held out longer than 1 thought it would. Il's five o’clock.” New the first moving wall of noise was followed by other sounds. Frightened deer fluttered from the bushes in the canynn and scampered up the trail to higher ground, their delicate hoofs lifted daintily, their wide eyes startled as they passed us. A furtive bebeat slunk up the trail and hid in the brush. Rabbits and quail—all the frightened wild things of the canyon—began to scamper and flutter from their lairs to seek the safety of the hills on either side. "Look I” Lanee pointed to the floor of the canyon— a tiny trickle of water was all was to the stream, winding through sand. But now that trickle widened, deepened and became a river, foamy, gray, angry... The noise increased. It deafened •s. The giant boulders robbing together made a furious, grinding sound as the surging stream came lown the valley, a wall of maddened water. Rugged sycamores. uprooted and irifting wildly, bobbed from aide to tide «f the moving well. We saw a ittle house go floating paat. tu ruing vid twisting on the crest of the water like a child's block thrown on i wave. 1 clutched Tanee’s hand. He held ' ne close In his arms as we watched he wreckage swiep down the canson and oot to the se*. The water was dark brown, riled • •th rapid motion, laden with the oil of the valley where it carved its eurea. Now the crest of the flood J rat upon as —the wall of water! died the valley from side to side.'

“Il's almost as high a’ the willows,” I whispered. “See — its , nearly reaching their tops.” s Tho sound was lessening now. f The flood of angry waters lad reached its peak —but the muddy t current .still swept furiously t ; t t the valley, swirling and foaming, i carrying its dreadful freight of animals and buildings. i Something white bobbed on the surface of the flood as it swept past I w. ! “That’s the school house,” Lance i pointed. “Remember when- we t passed it?" 1 romemliercd. I!< :u< rn- ’ bered, too, with thanksgiving, that » it was empty. The grinding of the boulders and I th* raging ot the waters were 1< --- ening now. The torrent still >-s j’. i past us, but it was quieter. So much : more quiet that I could hear other i noises. I “Don't you hear somebody call- ■ Ing?” I asked. ' We strained our cars to hear. A 1 voice—morn like a scream than ti i call—camo from the clump of willows. It rang out again. i “Then there was somcbolj i there’" 1 looked at Lanee in herror. "There was no house in that clump of trees! I’il swear I > it.” Lance was certain. “But listen—there it is again.” ■ We left our car and crept as close 1 as we dared to the brink of the steep 1 bluff. “Don't go too near the edge.” Lance cautioned. "The water is sating away the base.” Again and ngnin It rang oot—it was like a soul in agony—that terrible ery from the willow trees. I was shivering. Not from the cold, although the morning was ehilly and the night had been long. But from the reaction of all wo I n 1 gone through. From sheer horror! “There is nothing we can do,” Lance said. “Let's go.” “I can’t leave.” 1 stood like some one fascinated. ”1 have to stay till the flood is over.” Almost as rapidly as it had eome the srater was now subsiding. As t»r as we could see in the bright light of the rising sun the valley was swept clean of trees and shrubs. The path of the water was scoured and bare. Only the scattered <l--bri*. of tree* and roeks. wrecked build- i ings and driftwood, pinned on the J jagged points of the rocky bed of th<> stream, remained. I couldn't keep my eyes from the dump of willow trees. A* the light increased, we could see more clearly a paler mass among the darker trunks of the tree’. These had not eaught the full impact of the flood srater*. Only the baekwat.-r rising as the flood swept by. submerged the trv-s almost to their tops. Now this backwater was dmp- ■ ping, as fast almost as it had risen. The tops of the willows were s again. Now their branches. Now the white form of something square and bulky, trapped in the center of I the little clump. “There is something there.” 11 I pointed to the trees “That’s when the cries came from.” “After the water drops a little more I can cross and see what it is.” Lanee said. “But I know that there’s no house in those trees. Never ha* j been and there wasn't one there a few dags ago whea 1 paa«ad a».» i A few stray pieces of driftwood sox* scattered trees, heiflu* and 1
