One night about nine o'clock. Dr. Eyck，a surgeon(外科医生)，had a phone call from Dr. Haydon at the hospital in Clans Falls. The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.

The doctor was soon on his way to Clans Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the sky. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o'clock. A few minutes later，the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand，the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road，leaving the doctor in the falling snow. It was after two o'clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clans Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before. The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands. “Mr. Cunningham,” said Dr. Haydon to the man，“this is Dr. Eyck. He is the surgeon who came all the way from Albany to save your boy.”

My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.

On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.

We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing， we were out at last.
