@@@@@They stumbled and staggered and fell many times, Wilson’s body almost washing awayThey could not go more than a few feet without halting, and their sobbing fitted into the murmurs of the jungle, was lost in the washing of the water
They were bound to the stretcher and the corpseWhenever they fell they would lunge first at Wilson’s body, and become conscious only when they had secured him of the water pouring into their own mouthsIt went deeper than any instinct they had ever hadThey did not think of what they would do with him when they reached the end, they did not even remember any longer that he was deadHis burden had been the vital thingDead, he was as much alive to them as he had ever been
And yet they lost himThey came to the rapids where Hearn had carried the vine diagonally across the streamIt had washed away in the four days that had elapsed and the water churned viciously through the rocks now with no support to guide themThey hardly realized their dangerThey stepped down into the rapids, took three or four steps, and were upset in the swirling of the waterThe litter ripped out of their enfeebled fingers, dragged them in their harness after itThey wallowed and tumbled through the rough water, glancing off rocks, choking and swallowingThey made feeble efforts to free themselves, tried desperately to stand up, but the current was too violentHalf drowned, they let the water carry them
The litter split against a rock, and they heard the canvas ripping, but the sound was only an isolated sensation in the panic they felt at swallowing waterThey thrashed once more and the litter broke completely in two, the harness ripping free from their shouldersGasping, virtually insensible, they washed out of the worst part of the rapids, and stumbled toward the bank
A fact which obtruded slowly through their bewildermentThey could not quite grasp itOne moment they had been carrying Wilson, and now he had disappearedTheir hands were empty

@@@@@It sounded like an artillery
barrage going offI commanded myself to run away
I commanded myself to faintLike a
man in a dream – but not a good one – I walked
onstageEverything seemed to be happening slowly
I saw that every seat was taken but no seat was
taken because they were on their feet, they were
giving me a standing OHigh above me, on the
domed ceiling, angels flew in airy disregard of
the earthly matters below, and how I wished I was
one of themDario stood beside the podium, hand
outstretchedIt was the wrong one; in his own
nervousness he had extended his right, and so my
return handshake was awkward and bass-ackwardsMy
notes were crumpled briefly between our palms,
then toreLook what you did, you asshole, I
thought – and for one terrible moment I was afraid
584
I’d said it aloud for the mike to pick up and
broadcast all over the roomI was aware of how
bright the spotlight was as Dario left me there on
my lonely perchI was aware of the microphone on
its flexible chrome rod, and thinking it looked
like a cobra rising out of a snake-charmer’s
basketI was aware of bright points of light
shining on that chrome, and on the rim of the
water glass, and on the neck of the Evian bottle
next to the water glassI was aware that the
applause was starting to taper off; some of the
people were resuming their seatsSoon an
expectant silence would replace the applauseThey
would wait for me to beginOnly I had nothing to
sayEven my opening line had left my headThey
would wait and the silence would stretch out
There would be a few nervous coughs, and then the
murmuring would startBecause they were assholes
Just a bunch of lookie-loo assholes with rubber
necksAnd if I managed anything, it would be an
angry torrent of words that would sound like the
outburst of a man suffering from Tourette’s

@@@@@My poor dad told me that if I did not get a raise, I was to quit immediately
“You don’t need that damned job anyway,” said my poor dad with indignity
At 8 o’clock Saturday morning, I was going through the same rickety door of Mike’s house
“Take a seat and wait in line,” Mike’s dad said as I enteredHe turned and disappeared into his little office next to a bedroom
I looked around the room and did not see Mike anywhereFeeling awkward, I cautiously sat down next to the same two women who where there four weeks earlierThey smiled and slid across the couch to make room for me
Forty-five minutes went by, and I was steamingThe two women had met with him and left thirty minutes earlierAn older gentleman was in there for twenty minutes and was also gone
The house was empty, and I sat out in his musty dark living room on a beautiful sunny Hawaiian day, waiting to talk to a cheapskate who exploited childrenI could hear him rustling around the office, talking on the phone, and ignoring meI was now ready to walk out, but for some reason I stayed
Finally, fifteen minutes later, at exactly 9 o’clock, rich dad walked out of his office, said nothing, and signaled with his hand for me to enter his dingy office
“I understand you want a raise or you’re going to quit,” rich dad said as he swiveled in his office chair
“Well, you’re not keeping your end of the bargain,” I blurted out nearly in tearsIt was really frightening for a 9-year-old boy to confront a grownup
“You said that you would teach me if I worked for youWell, I’ve worked for youI’ve given up my baseball games to work for youAnd you don’t keep your wordYou haven’t taught me anythingYou are a crook like everyone in town thinks you areYou want all the money and don’t take care of your employ

Hearn sat up and stared about himThe men were still sprawled on the rock, resting quietA few of them were talking or scaling pebbles into the water, and Valsen was carefully stripping the leaves from a tree which overhung the rockHearn looked at his watchFive minutes had gone by since the break had begun, and another ten minutes would not hurtHe might as well give them a decent breakHe stretched and rinsed his mouth out with some water from his canteen, chatted for a minute or two with Minetta and Goldstein

Once he had regained his wind, Brown began to talk to Martinez
Brown was depressed; the jungle ulcers on his feet had begun to itch and smart, and he knew they would become more painful as the patrol continuedIdly, quite hopelessly, he was thinking how pleasant it would be if he could lie in the sun with his feet bare, allowing the heat to dry his sores
“This is gonna be a rough sonofabitch,” he sighed”Five days out, long time
Brown lowered his voice”What the hell do you think of this new looey?”
“Okay He felt cautious about answeringThe men knew he buddied with Croft, and he felt they would guess his hostility to HearnWith Croft everything had been okay”Too friendly, maybe,” Martinez suggested”Platoon leader should be tough guy
