Excerpt: ...Nobody felt like joking, for all felt the seriousness of the situation. "That water must come to the surface somewhere," said Snap. "But it may be a good distance from here." As they were wet to the knees, one after another got down in the stream and examined the rocks. Some thought they saw daylight under the water beyond the rocks, but nobody was sure. "If it wasn't so cold a fellow could take a dive and find out," said Shep. "But I don't want a dive in such water as that," and the others agreed with him.
