"What," inquired Karl, "would be the use of a rope of fifty yards, though the eagle might carry it up to the moon? Even at the lowest part of the cliffs  should the bearcoot take one end over, the other would be fifty yards above our heads?" "Not a yard, brother  not a foot. The other end would be in our hands   in our hands, I tell you."
