The Chronicles of Corum
“Corum and Jhary dragged the oars free and used them to steer the rocking boat towards the bank.
“Be ready to jump, Rhalina!” Corum yelled.
She stood upright, holding on to the mast. King Noreg-Dan steadied her.
The boat danced out into midstream again and then, as suddenly, swerved back towards the bank as another current caught it. Corum. staggered and almost fell overboard as he manipulated the oar. The sound of the torrent almost drowned their voices. The abyss was much closer an...d it would not be much longer before they were all hurled over it. Dimly, through the spray, Corum saw the distant wall of the far cliff. It must have been a mile away at least.
Then the boat scraped the bank and Corum yelled: “Jump, Rhalina!”
And she jumped with Noreg-Dan leaping after her, his arms waving. She landed in the blood-dust and fell, sprawling.
