We fastened the leading line to her and with one above and one below we thought we could help her to keep her balance, and if she did not make a misstep on that narrow way she might get over safely.

Without a moments hesitation the brave animal tried the pass.

Carefully and steadily she went along, selecting a place before putting down a foot, and when she came to the narrow ledge leaned gently on the rope, never making a sudden start or jump, but cautiously as a cat moved slowly along.

There was now no turning back for her.

She must cross this narrow place over which I had to creep on hands and knees, or be dashed down fifty feet to a certain death.
