### 43

With your heart in your mouth you leap across the raging river and land with a jolt that leaves you breathless. For several minutes you cling to the smooth rock until you are recovered enough to be able to continue to the far side. When you reach the safety of the opposite bank you discover that you have lost one item from your Backpack--it must have fallen out as you made the jump.

Delete the item you have listed second on the Backpack section of your Action Chart before you venture into the Moggador Forest.

Turn to 186.
