But on the very banks of the stream they begin to ring. There is danger in this. Should they ring in the river hundreds will be drowned. Round and round they go in a painful centripetal motion, a wheel of horns upon a heaving base of brown and red and grey. But the stock-riders force their horses in, and break the ring, with many a sharp call, and snap of whip, and sharp expletive. Then into the river the cattle plunge, follow- ing the horses, first with a tremor and snort of fear, and then wit...h a rush. It was a forest of horns, where shaggy manes tumbled and tossed in the swift current ; a melee of floating heads, warring and waggling. The current at first carries them down. Then they begin to ring again. The spectator is thrilled by the struggle. The stock-riders thrust in, and the stock-whip cuts the air like a knife. Some steers floated down, but struck out bravely and were caught in the trees on the bank, where they were held fast, for the water was flowing among the branches of the gums.
