Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guavas the Tinner
He had to make his selection - to tear away his hand, when the tendons would be cut through, and his fingers fall apart, never more to be used, or to remain with the chance of disengaging his other hand so as to be able to reach and pluck forth the knife. This was what he had hoped to do, and he had worked the rope that bound his arm against the post, in the expectation of being able in time to fret the strands to such an extent that with a wrench he might liberate the hand, and then one hand would free the other.
