They soon reached the River and turned up it where there was a grassy road： they had the water on their leftnd the forest on their right. Soon after that they came to he place where the ground grew rougher and thick wood ame down to the water’s edge. The road， what there was f it， now ran on the Southern bank and they had to ford he River to reach it. It was up to Tirian‘s armpits， but Jewel who had four legs and was therefore steadier） kept on his ght so as to break the force of the current， and Tirian put is strong arm round the Unicorn’s strong neck and they oth got safely over. The King was still so angry that he ardly noticed the cold of the water. But of course he dried is sword very carefully on the shoulder of his cloak， which as the only dry part of him， as soon as they came to shore. They were now going Westward with the River on their ght and Lantern Waste straight ahead of them. They had ot gone more than a mile when they both stopped and oth spoke at the same moment. The King said “What ave we here？” and Jewel said “Look！”
“It is a raft，” said King Tirian.
