You try to row back to the Rakmara shore, but the current is now so swift that you find yourself being carried downstream. Desperately you try to paddle against it It's no use. And there's bad trouble up ahead—foaming, white rapids! You hang on for your life, but your raft smashes into a rock with a terrific thunk. One end tilts straight up, dumping you into the wild, swirling waters. You try to grab the raft, but you can't reach it. You start swimming toward shore, but you can't make any headway.
You're not a quitter. You'll go down trying.
