"Uh, Ray, is that a waterfall?' asked Fraser as Ray poled their raft down the river. They had just escaped from a convict posing as their pilot, and now they were trying to get back to civilization. One night in the woods had been enough for Ray, and he was powering the raft with all his strength.
"Yes Benny, I believe it is. Now what do you suggest we do?" Ray slowed his poling of the raft, but they continued toward the rushing waterfall.
"Well Ray, we have several options here. We could jump off the raft and try to reach the bank of the river, although given the strength of the current and the amount of water running through it, that would certainly be a foolish move. We could also attempt to steer the raft towards the bank, or we could simply ride the raft over the waterfall and hope that we're lucky."
"Well Fraser, we'd better decide, because…" Ray broke off as the raft suddenly hit the edge of the waterfall. Before he knew what was happening, Ray was being pushed down the rushing water and quickly approaching the rocky bottom of the river.
Not knowing what to do, Ray decided that he would take chance and stay on the raft. If anything, maybe the raft would break his fall and protect him from the nasty looking rocks below. As he tumbled over the side, Ray suddenly wondered what had happened to Benny.

As soon as ray broke off in mid sentence, Fraser knew they were about to go over the falls. He knew what to do in an emergency like this, but he was worried what Ray might do. Although he knew how to handle emergencies in Chicago, Ray was definitely not prepared to over a waterfall on a raft. Fraser tried to yell to Ray, but the rushing water drowned out his voice. He could only hope that his friend would have enough sense to jump off the raft, otherwise Ray might get tangled in the cedar roots and pulled under by the current.
As the raft went over the falls, Fraser prepared himself before he leaped off the raft and fell into the rocky river below.
