Their only chance of 9 was to find a way up the cliff (悬崖) nearby.

They soon find a narrow path 10 the cliff top. But half way up their path was

11 by a large rock which they could not climb 12 . The two boys had to shout at the top of their voices, 13 that someone might

14 over the top of the rock, and finally came their father with two policemen. 15 of them climbed down a rope which was lowered over the rock. The boys were then pulled to safety, and thus saved from spending a miserable (痛苦的) night on the cliff.
