41 Look Up

41 Look Up Josephine went first. She lowered herself carefully through the hole in the bottom of the pool and began crawling on her hands and knees along the dry chute. Rockwell followed, as 72 made their way back towards the stairs. "I can see daylight," said Josephine after about ten minutes of scrambling through the twisting chute. At the end of it

41 抬头看 约瑟芬走在最前面。 她小心地顺着泳池底部的洞往下挪,开始手脚并用地沿着干燥的通道往前爬。 洛克威尔跟在后面,和72一起往楼梯方向折返。 “我能看见亮光啦!”在弯弯曲曲的通道里爬了大约十分钟后,约瑟芬说道。 通道的尽头

was an opening, about a metre wide. "Thank the maker! I can't wait to get out of here. My knees are so sore!" said Rockwell. "I think I've taken most of the skin off!"
