The Search - continued

The Mounties had found no trace of Rita anywhere. They stood around scratching their heads. Then one of the boys noticed a piece of Rita‘s pink bathing suit floating near the edge of the pool. There was new excitement and the men started to search again. This time they began exploring the rocky shelves that were hidden behind the falls.

It was very difficult because the force of the water falling was so great. They decided to get sand bags and logs to dam the water above the falls. Then they would be able to move more easily among the rocks behind the falls.
