Zahn had a stick in his hand and tried to roach him with~it, but failed, as tho stick was too Bhort, and when young Dowse came to the surface he went after him to save him.

were not able-to assist them in any way. Young Zahn had just passed the Matriculation Examination. Mrs Dowso only a few months ago lost her husband.
