I looked up1 at the spire; it was

I said, "and there Vill be even

p)aused before a narrowv window.
T'his w~as the point from which I

Caisting a single glance at the
p)eople in the street below-more
specks in the distanc-I reached
out from one of tihe wvindows, and,
grasping one of the ornamental
blocks, swung myself ouit upon
the spiro.
For an instant my courage fall

an1 ith a'silent prayer for pro

hand on the next block above my
head and clambered up.
From block to block I went
steadily and cautiously,trying each

block that supported me moved
