Secret of the Underground Room (1990)
“He clung desperately to the iron bar, closed his eyes tight, and prayed. In his ears the wild wind boomed, and he was so frightened that he was afraid he would black out. How long could he hang on? Would he lose consciousness before he hit the stones that lay far below? But suddenly a loud voice rose above the howling storm: I wish the wind may cease to roar, No thrashing of the flood. By him that harrowed hell I swear And by the holy rood!
The wind died, and Johnny slid gasping to the r...iveted iron walkway of the bridge. Stunned, he looked around and saw the professor and Fergie not far from him. They were kneeling with their hands over their faces, and both of them seemed to be sobbing. Walking toward them from the far end of the bridge was Humphrey.

With a lot of sneezing and harrumphing, the professor pulled himself together.MoreLess
