### 9

A wave of panic knots your stomach as the bridge drops away beneath your feet. You dive forward and just manage to grasp hold of the slatted wooden floor. But the worst is yet to come. Your grip is slipping, and the bridge is about to crash into the far wall.

If you wish to tighten your grip and brace yourself for the shock of impact, turn to 112.

If you decide to leap clear of the swinging bridge into the unknown depth of the mine shaft, turn to 342.
