The moment had arrived. | could still either take part in the venture or else refuse to try it. But | felt ashamed to turn back in the hunter’s presence. Hans accepted the adventure so 5 calmly, with such indifference, such unconcern at all danger, that | blushed at the idea of, being less brave than him. On my own, | would have launched into a whole series of important arguments, but since the guide was there | remained silent. My memory flew back towards my pretty Virland girl, and | approached the middle chimney. ‘As mentioned already, it was a hundred feet across, or about three hundred feet right 10 round. | leant over an overhanging rock, and looked. My hair stood on end. An impression of void took hold of my being. I felt my centre of gravity moving through me and dizziness going to my head like a heady brew. Nothing more intoxicating than this attraction of the abyss. | was going to fall. A hand held me back. Hans’s. Decidedly, | hadn’t had enough ‘lessons in chasms’ at the Frelsers Kirke in Copenhagen. 15 But however little I'd dared look down into the well, I had realised what shape it was. Its walls, almost perpendicular, had many projections which were certainly going to make them easier to climb down. But if there was an adequate staircase, there was no banister. A rope attached at the mouth would have provided sufficient support, but how to untie it when we got to its end? 20 Copyright® 2021 ~sutonandtitfinmocks@gmailcom. lights reserved, No part of tis publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electric, mechanical, photocopying, recording without writen permission of the publisher. 3suttonandtiffinmocks@gmail.com © Sutton 11+ Mock Tests 2021 — English Test 3 My uncle employed a very simple method to get round this difficulty. He unrolled a rope as thick as a thumb and four hundred feet long. First he dropped half of it down, then wound it round a block of lava which projected outwards, and finally threw the other half into the chimney. Each of us could then climb down while holding together the two halves of the rope, which couldn't slip. Two hundred feet further on, nothing would be easier than 25 bringing it down by letting one end go and pulling on the other. We would then be able to repeat this exercise ad infinitum ‘Now,’ said my uncle, ‘having finished these preparations, let's think about the luggage. It will be split into three, and each of us will strap a package to his back—I refer only to the fragile objects.’ 30 The bold professor clearly didn’t include us in the last category. ‘Hans will carry the tools and a third of the food; you, Axel, another third of the food and the firearms; | will take the rest of it and the delicate instruments.’ ‘But what about the clothing and this great pile of ropes and ladders, who will take charge of them? ‘There is no need.’ ‘Why?’ ‘You will see.” 35 My uncle liked to employ strong-arm methods, without hesitating. On his command, Hans tied the non-fragile objects into a single packet, which was roped solidly together, and then quite simply dropped down into the abyss. heard the lowing sound produced by the movements of the layers of air. My uncle, leaning over the gulf, watched the descent of our luggage with a satisfied air, and stood up again 40 only after losing sight of it. 11. How does the author draw the reader into the text?

When | had passed the vale where my bower stood, as above, | came within view of the sea to the west, and it being a very clear day, | fairly descried land - whether an island or a continent | could not tell; but it lay very high, extending from the W. to the W.S.W. at a very great distance; by my guess it could not be less than fifteen or twenty leagues off. 10 could not tell what part of the world this might be, otherwise than that | knew it must be part of America, and, as | concluded by all my observations, must be near the Spanish dominions, and perhaps was all inhabited by savages, where, if had landed, | had been ina worse condition than I was now; and therefore | acquiesced in the dispositions of Providence, which | began now to own and to believe ordered everything for the best;! 15 say I quieted my mind with this, and left off afflicting myself with fruitless wishes of being there. Besides, after some thought upon this affair, | considered that if this land was the Spanish coast, | should certainly, one time or other, see some vessel pass or repass one way or other; but if not, then it was the savage coast between the Spanish country and Brazils, 20 where are found the worst of savages; for they are cannibals or men-eaters, and fail not to murder and devour all the human bodies that fall into their hands. Al this while the storm increased, and the sea went very high, though nothing like what | have seen many times since; no, nor what I saw a few days after; but it was enough to affect me then, who was but a young sailor, and had never known anything of the matter.1 25 expected every wave would have swallowed us up, and that every time the ship fell down, as | thought it did, in the trough or hollow of the sea, we should never rise more; in this agony of mind, | made many vows and resolutions that if it would please God to spare my life in this one voyage, if ever | got once my foot upon dry land again, | would go directly home to my father, and never set it into a ship again while | lived; that | would take his 30 advice, and never run myself into such miseries as these any more. Now I saw plainly the goodness of his observations about the middle station of life, how easy, how comfortably he had lived all his days, and never had been exposed to tempests at sea or troubles on shore; and | resolved that | would, like a true repenting prodigal, go home to my father.
