Fortune's Journey
“Hyatt had given her around her arm, both she and Mrs. Watson would have been lost to the abyss at once. As it was, they were dangling like links at the end of a chain, and Mrs. Watson’s life depended on how long they could manage to cling to each other.
Outside they could hear frantic shouts from the men. Below them was the ghastly drop.
“Close your eyes!” ordered Fortune, tightening her grip on Mrs. Watson’s arm.
Mrs. Watson groaned, but did as Fortune told her.
Fortune felt as if her arms wer...e being slowly but surely pulled from their sockets. The rope had tightened around her right wrist, cutting off the circulation. Mrs. Watson’s full weight dangled from her other hand.
Suddenly the older woman moaned. “I can’t do it, Fortune. I can’t hold on any longer.”
A surge of fear ripped through Fortune as she felt Mrs. Watson’s hand slipping from hers. With the fear came unsuspected strength, and she tightened her own grip as if her hand were made of iron.
