“By Jove，neither one can，”said Eustace after he had tried．
Jewel reached the foot of the Waterfall first，but Tirian was only just behind him. Jill was last，so she could see the whole thing better than the others. She saw something white moving steadily up the face of the Waterfall. That white thing was the Unicorn. You couldn’t tell whether he was swimming or climbing，but he moved on，higher and higher. The point of his horn divided the water just above his head，and it cascaded out in two rainbow-coloured streams all round his shoulders. Just behind him came King Tirian. He moved his legs and arms as if he were swimming but he moved straight upwards：as if one could swim up the wall of a house．
What looked funniest was the Dogs. During the gallop they had not been at all out of breath，but now，as they swarmed and wriggled upwards，there was plenty of spluttering and sneezing among them; that was because they would keep on barking， and every time they barked they got their mouths and noses full of water. But before Jill had time to notice all these things fully， she was going up the Waterfall herself. It was the sort of thing that would have been quite impossible in our world. 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. But in that world you could do it. 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 later it was only gloriously exciting. 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. The current was racing away behind you，but you were such a wonderful swimmer that you could make headway against it. Soon they were all on the bank，dripping but happy．
A long valley opened ahead and great snow-mountains，now much nearer，stood up against the sky．
“Further up and further in，”cried Jewel and instantly they were off again．
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. But the Lord Digory and the Lady Polly had.“Do you remember ？Do you remember ？”they said-and said it in steady voices too，without panting，though the whole party was now running faster than an arrow flies．
“What，Lord ？”said Tirian.“Is it then true，as stories tell， that you two journeyed here on the very day the world was made ？”
“Yes，”said Digory，“and it seems to me as if it were only yesterday.”
“And on a flying horse ？”asked Tirian.“Is that part true ？”
“Certainly，”said Digory. But the Dogs barked，“Faster， faster!”
