Chapter VII
It happened just as the overseer had predicted. When the herd reached the Polgar ferry it was impossible to cross. The Theiss, the Sajo, the Hernad, all were in flood. The water touched the planking of the foot-bridge. The ferry-boat had been hauled up, and moored to the willows on the bank.
