IMPAIRING DONE AS USUAL
D' McKLYZIE.
4 THRILLING stony.
1 reached the litele Welsh :towS of
'eatteertnaw one boisterous afternoon in
itutumn at &bent four o'clock, after a
long tramp over the mountainse Aber -
mew, as its name implies, is situated at
the mouth of the river Maw, which here
formi an estuary about a mile broad.
The town itself faces the open sea ; the
harbor lies about half a mile up the es-
tuary ; whilst between the town and the
harbor was the °Mime of a huge bridge
then in counie of construction. Aber -
maw is a little bit of a place, censisting
chapel of ease, and half-a-duegn dodging
houses, winch are built On • platform of
!and. the work of the see and,river
concert or in conflict. The old tithing
villege is perched upon the rocks above,
tier, upon tier, the lintelstone of one
house looking down the chimney of the
house below, and reached by rude
rocky steps, where the children of the
village swarm up end down end yet
-rarely conteive to break their necks.
The further 'here of the estnary Was
a triaegular spit of sand, acres, which
wa.s a track that joined the hieb-rued at
the 'shoulder of a trate-beaten -cliff on
the fence of which it was terrued, for
on the further or southern side of the
eatuary, the sea washed uir to the very
base of the rocks that formed the rugged
fringe of this iron bound coast. There
was A ferry from the Abermaw side tei
the spit of sand, and thence by e detour
ef several ntiles you could melte your
way alung the southern bank Of the river
to the town of Dolbadarn. As the crow
flies Dolhadarn was not more then seven
distant from Aberinew, bet it
could not be reached by any practicable
treek in leas then frum ten to eleven
miles, for the river took a wide sweep to
the notth, and, in addition to, the de-
tour thus caused, the first bridge- where
the road crossed the river was at a point
a ioed way Wide 0.1.Dulbadarn,1 so that
altogether the distance was' lengthened
to ehat above mentioned. On the other
hand, if you cruseed the ferry, and
made four way across the sand to the
highway, the distance was much the
same,aud this latter route was,of course,
only practicable to foot-passeugers.
Although I had reached Abermaw in
the guise of a free and independent
pedestrian, yet my liberty was of • re.
stricted nature. My wife and shildren
had gone by the reveler coach eoute to
Dolbadarn, and I had crossed the moun-
tain by a wild foot -track, promising to
join them that eight at Dolbadarn.
•tiene for dinner for I had intended' to
take the coach' at Aberniaw, which
would have., broughtg me te the end of
my journey hegood Thii .coach,
however, I 'had missed by Just five
minutes. My walk that day had been
a long one. and I was rather fagged, and
should probably have hired a eonvey.
slice for the remainder of the distance ;
but the manner of the landlord of the
hotel was so abrupt, and 1 thought, of-
fensive. in answecto my inquiciee, that
I resolved, come what might, he should
not be a six -pence richer for me.
I walked en till I Mlle to a little pub-
lic house at the farther end of the town
close to the reugh quay that bordered
the estuary, and turned in there f a
glass of beer and a crust of bread and
cheese, as well aa for the purpose of
making a few inquiries as to tny route
'Well, indeed.' said Eyan Rowlands,
the Landlord, 'there's no possible way to

you take • car frem Mr. Jones's.'

I said. 'Can't I hiee one anywhere

horse or car in Aberrnaw except the
horses and car owned by Mr. Jones.
'Very well, then,' I said, I would

than ten miles.'
'1 wouldn't mind the &genies. only

ready.'

strong
'Can't I get a parte( the way ,I sug-
Evan put his head out of the door.
'Nor he cried ; 'the tide has just turned;
it is running dowu very strung.'
'Then there is nothing for it but walk-
ing,' I said; 'I must go around by Lien -
fair Bridge.' But I didn't like the idea
of this tea railer Walk thruugh the mist
and gathering gloom.
'Stop !' said Evan. 'Why shouldn't
you go over this bridge -the railway
bridge 1'
'Is the •bridge passable, then ? Gen
you get across 1'
'Oh dear, yes. The gentlemen from
the railway come over very often and to-
day Hugh Pugh and IMvid Morris did
come over from the Dolbrith Quarry.'
'And •hat distence will that save
'Four or five miles ; yes sure.'
'Acid the bridge is quite 'safe t'
KA, it is very strong and safe indeed
or how should Hugh Pugh and David
Morns come over, and tLe railway
gentlemen, too.; yes, sure.'
'And the railway potpie won't objec
to my going over t
'They've all knocked off work tur the
day, and there won't be a soul near the
bridge but yourself.'
'Then of course I'll go over it.'
But I found that there were certain
difficulties in the way. The railway
hndge croued the estuary at a point
about a quarter of a mile from the little
inn that formed the extremity of the
town, at a apot where its clianeel was
narrowed to a distance -of about three
quarters of a rails, The unfinished
bridge was constructed of piles firmly
driven into the bode( the river, from
which rose huge piers of timber to the
height of about forty feet. Along these
were magas bilks., destined to purport
the platform of the bridge, whilst each
pier was strengthened and supported its
neighbor by an arrangement of cross
beams and ties.
When I reached ehe batik of the river
with my guide, Evan Rowlands, I found
that there was a considerable hiatus be-
tween the shore and the nearest pier,
about • hundred yards. Even, how-
ever, was prepared with a plan for reach-
ing it. A friend of his was the insister
of the little sloop, the Ann Jones, which
was lyine in, the tiuy brook above. lie
and his mate were now on boerd her,
and they had got their little dingy woth
them. Evan would borrow the beat,
and drop 414iVIII with the strum, and
deposit me atehe foot of the nearest
pier.
'But why not ferry uie right over the
river 1' I asked,
'Not -ewitisible,' said Evan. There
were shaliows and quickswids at tile
other side which at this time tbsi tido
were very dangerous. .
So we made oer way along ihe road
which ()Vertrieb' the estuary, till we
came to the little harbor. Enabled no
difficulty ',in borrowing the dingy, and
we were soon afloat, shooting quickly
down the stream.
It was almost dark -riow, for althiteigh
the sun was not yet down, the sterol
that wrs withering upon the horizon
sheered his -light. Great volumes of
cloud and vapor were driving up before
the wind, which howled and moaned in-
termittently , as ?blast succeeded blast,
and died arre7 again, The wind an -d
tide in opposition made the water pretty
rough, and our boat danced te,-. and
dime in a very lively way. Presently
the 'deck skelegon of the bridge loomed
up as throrigh the mist, and F.vaterlex-
eddy diet wse formed by the abutments..
of the pier, and then he called to rne
jump trim the stern of the dingy on to
a cross -piece that formed a tort iif plat.
form a foot or sii froin the water's edge.
/jumped. and banded safely' On the
balk, and then 1 found that my way up•
weeds warp by climbing the nearest pier,
across which were. nailed rough, irregu-
lar staves. which constituted what is
called a workinan's ladder. I had no
intention of lindertaking any acrobatic
feats, end tlie idea of cliinbiug top to that
giddy height by such rotigh, nnreliable
supporta, wes distasteful enough. I
wouldn't try it, I weuld go back in the
boat to try land once more. But the
boat had spin away in the tide, and was
now far ent lif earshot, or indeed eye-
shitt either. There I stondi:..hen, in the
rnittst of a rushing raging a, upon a
balk of ti giber embrecing re huge black
pier, the head of which Irel lost in the
gloom and' mist overhead. ' I .couldn't
stay. here ; I 'Bust get *cruse the brier
at all hazards, and my only way was up-.
Up I went *lovely, step by step, test-

There were footprints on the narrow
ridge of tintber. It was not mere than
two feet wide at the broadest, and the
sight of them gave me courage. eMen
had panned .over here before nee ;
would pass too. And so, without giving
myself a moment to think, I steeped ;
and the ni ellent whenaletting go with
my hands, I sbiod ulion that topmost
round of the ladder, and balanced my-
self for an instant, A. I placed my hen
up"n the pho•k, thet moment in which
I seemed to quiver ; and sway to and
fro, high up mid nn this giddy perch,
beyond the ken ef any human eye, that
moineut of dizzy terror, of strange whirl-
ing though,s, of instincts to case myself
headlong int.. the sea, was in sensatton
as ally ordinary week of placid being;
and jet it came and went like any other
moment, and I stood oreot Upon the
beam, end began my perilous way.
I heard the wind fu off,i bellowing
aniong the breakers on the bar ; I heard
it screezhing and howling over the fists.
I felt a moment's calm, the strange, un-
natural hush, aud then the rush and leap
of, the storm, as it.hurled by me. Dash-
ing the salt spray into my eyes, it name,
seizing all the loose corners of my ap-
parel and crack ing thetn like whip -lashes,
carrying away my feeble Lreath in its

I heard it coming now, but I was al-
most home, for that rough, unsheltered
platform, on this rude night, seemed like

and quickly along. Suddenly a diem
seemed to open ander my feet, a horri.

came suddenly to an end. For some
eight feet of it had been cut away, and
there was nothing to help me over this
dreadful gap. Without wings it was
impossible to pass.
All hope left me. I knew that to re -
true my steps was impossible to nie.
Even • if I reached the end from which I
started I should be no better off than
here, and hopelessness of the position
weakened my every nerve. Once more
I heard the wind rising and hurltng

wet, slippery balk, clasped it with my
