. she's not our problem . there's plenty of other people down there to help that idiot look forher . you think you see something from here what - you're going to run back down there only to find out she's hooking up with somebody in one of the other cabins ? you'll have wasted a ton of energy and lost thebest part of the day for making progress to get out of here .

one after another each said ," nothing ."
jack said , " i got a bad feeling about this ."
carmel removed her wide hat . she said , " me too . could she have fallen into the river ? is that possible ?"
