The map showed clearly that they must begin their climb at the place where the water gushed from its underground tunnel to form the stream.”

04
“Yes it is Rugby which is responsible for many of the troubles which beset Rowan in the next few months. He makes a dangerous enemy of Colin Clitford, a fellow team member. ”
