21、tis Whitson had rafted (乘筏) down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, several times before. This year, Curtis Whitson knew the water-fall was coming. He figured he would get out of his raft into the shallow water, get down the rocks along ropes on either side of the falls, and continue on
22、 his way, as he had on a previous trip. But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitsons companions were his girlfriend, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the thr
23、ee of them approached the falls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrowing canyon(峡谷) that they were in serious trouble.

He grabbed a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve “Help” in it. Then he tied a rope to it so the people wou
26、ld know it wasnt just any stick. He tried throwing it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction. “Weve got to do something！” Whitson yelled to his son. “Have we got anything else？”Then he spotted his water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help！” on it. Ramirez also reminded hi
27、m that he had a pen and paper in his backpack. Whitson knew it was a slim hope. But he wrote “6-15 19：00 We are stuck herethe waterfall. Get help please” and pushed the note into the bottle. This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect. “All right, thats all we can do，” Whitson told Hunter. 注

31、r the three were spotted, the helicopter lowered a crew member on a cable. The rescuers lifted them out of the mountain. It was not long before they were taken to safety. That was a moment of pure happiness as the three chatted with the rescue workers. Just at that time Whitson learned that a hiker spotted the bottle with the message asking for help. And it was exactly that bottle that saved them all! Together, they were amazed at the unlikelihood of it all.
