Falling as I had, I of course had pitched out somedistance from the sloping parapet. A few strokes brought me to the edge. I really was not yet certain but that I could clamber up the face of thewall anywhere. I hoped that I could. I felt certain at least therewas some spot where I might get hold with my hands, even if I did notultimately ascend it.
"I tried the nearest spot. The inclination of the wall was so verticalthat it did not even rest me to lean against it. I felt with my handsand with... my feet. Surely, I thought, there must be some fissure likethose in which that ill-omened weed had found a place for its root!
"There was none. My fingers became sore in busying themselves with theharsh and inhospitable stones. My feet slipped from the smooth andslimy masonry beneath the water; and several times my face came in rudecontact with the wall, when my foothold gave way on the instant that Iseemed to have found some diminutive rocky cleat upon which I could staymyself.
"Sir, did you ever see a rat drowned in a half-filled hogshead-how heswims round, and round, and round; and after vainly trying the sidesagain and again with his paws, fixes his eyes upon the upper rim as ifhe would _look himself_ out of his watery prison?
