But the Lord Digory and the Lady Polly had. They were out of Narnia now and up into the Western Wild which neither Tirian nor Peter nor even the Eagle had ever seen before. "Further up and further in," cried Jewel and instantly they were off again. Soon they were all on the bank, dripping but happy.Ī long valley opened ahead and great snow-mountains, now much nearer, stood up against the sky. The current was racing away behind you, but you were such a wonderful swimmer that you could make headway against it. And then at last one came to the lovely, smooth green curve in which the water poured over the top and found that one was out on the level river above the waterfall. You went on, up and up, with all kinds of reflected lights flashing at you from the water and all manner of coloured stones flashing through it, till it seemed as if you were climbing up light itself-and always higher and higher till the sense of height would have terrified you if you could be terrified, but here it was only gloriously exciting. Even if you hadn't been drowned, you would have been smashed to pieces by the terrible weight of water against the countless jags of rock. It was the sort of thing that would have been quite impossible in our world. But before Jill had time to notice all these things fully, she was going up the Waterfall herself.

And helter-skelter behind him, with splash after splash, all the others did the same. ![]() His voice could only just be heard above the roar of the water but next moment everyone saw that he had plunged into the Pool. Further up and further in! Take it in your stride." "It's all very well for him," said Eustace, but Jewel also cried out: "Don't stop! Further up and further in," called Farsight, tilting his flight a little upwards. For now they saw before them Caldron Pool and beyond the Pool, the high unclimbable cliffs and, pouring down the cliffs, thousands of tons of water every second, flashing like diamonds in some places and dark, glassy green in others, the Great Waterfall and already the thunder of it was in their ears.
