Description

Excerpt from A Man: His Mark; A Romance

Should snow fall to a great depth, he could easily shovel it down the steep slope of the cation. Should an avalanche come, - that made him wince. Still, he had made calculations on that account. By arching the roof of his but he had given it great strength. Better than that, should an avalanche plunge over the edge of the cliff it must first gather great speed and momentum. Stretch ing back mountainward from the top of the cliff was a considerable space nearly level an avalanche descending from the higher reaches of the vast mountain would likely stop on this level ground; but should it be so great and swift as to pass over, its momentum would likely carry it safely over his hut, as the water of a swiftly running stream, plunging over a ledge, leaves a dry space between itself and the wall.
