Mystery At Devil's Paw (1959)
“Leaping out from the cliff, he dived into the water far below. After a few strong strokes, he reached the rocky shore and climbed to the foot of the slope.
Joe, tumbling and twisting, was almost at the bottom of the cliff. In the nick of time Ted caught hold of Joe, breaking his fall just short of a jagged rock formation.
The impact threw both boys to the flinty ground, where they lay panting and trembling for a few moments.
“Whew!” gasped Joe. “How can I thank you, Ted! Finding that dinosaur b...one came close to killing me! If it hadn’t been for you, my own bones would be in pretty bad shape by now!”
“Just a lucky catch,” Ted said with a grin.
Even so, Joe had suffered many bruises and his skin was scraped raw in several places.
Frank, who had tensely watched the rescue, shouted, “I’ll find a safer place to come down.”
By climbing higher and crossing a shelf of rock to a point farther upriver, he was able to make the descent in safety.
Ted, meanwhile, had opened their first-aid kit and applied medication to Joe’s cuts.MoreLess
