### 241

The ceiling of the cavern is so low that you are forced to all press yourselves against the bottom of the boat to avoid head injuries. For nearly an hour the boat is swept through a maze of underground waterways before coming to a sudden halt; you are grounded upon a bank of shingle. You are in a section of the tunnel that is much higher than any you have previously travelled. To the south the river continues into the rock-face, but to the east you notice another shingle bank and a land tunnel beyond.

If you wish to row across to the other bank, abandon the boat and continue on foot, turn to 309.12

If you wish to continue by river, turn to 115.

[12] Section 309 assumes that your men are all missing or dead. This represents a serious flaw in the story flow since you are still accompanied by some of your men. You may choose to turn to Section 8 instead which is a geographically flawed correction, but does continue the story with your current company.
