Robert Crews
“Toiling up the cliff again would be purposeless. He could scan more of the water from up there, but if he did see his enemy, the man would be too far away by now to pursue with any hope of success. The only choice he had was to continue to explore the lake, by foot along the shore, or hike back to his old camp at the pond. What distances must be traveled to do the former could not be estimated, but to go back by land to where he had come from by water would be a defeat of a kind that he could n...ot accept.
He began to walk and before long was beyond the area of stones and once again on the sand beach. He took the route firmest underfoot, at the edge of the forest, and at a regular pace probably covered as much distance per hour as he had even with the crude sail, given its constant need for manhandling, and certainly more than when merely poling the raft. As he hiked he thought about what he would do if he did encounter the man who had stolen the raft that he had built by hand with so much labor, and though at the outset he amused himself with fantasies of violence, after a while he imagined only asking the other what possible justification there could be for doing such a rotten thing.MoreLess
