### 57

You sense that neither the rope nor the rocks are quite what they seem: a terrible aura of wickedness hangs over them both. Your try to delve deeper, but your concentration is broken when your boat lurches violently towards the jetty. A collision is only seconds away.

If you wish to dive overboard to avoid being dashed against the stone wall, turn to 325.

If you wish to grab one of the hanging ropes, turn to 203.

If you prefer to close your eyes and pray, turn to 239.
