The ladder was placed against the clifi", with its lowei end resting upon the glacier, and as close to the edge of the crevasse as was reckoned safe.
We have said that the ladder was fifty feet in length , and consequently it reached to a point on the face of the cliff nearly fifty feet above the surface of the glacier.
At this height there chanced to be a slight flaw in the rock — a sort of seam in the granite — where a hole could sasily be pierced with an iron instrument.
Tc make this hole a ...foot or more in d^th was th» THE CREVASSE BRIDGED. 239 work of an hour. It was done by means of the hatchet, and the iron point of Ossaroo's boar-spear.
A strong wooden stake was next inserted into this hole, fitting it as nearly as possible ; but, in order to make it perfectly tight and firm, hard wooden wedgea were hammered in all around it.
When driven home, the end of this stake protruded a foot or more from the wall of the chff ; and, by means of notches cut in the wood, and raw-hide thongs, the pulley was securely rigged on to it.
