A RUDi: BRIDGi: IN THE MOUNTAINS 



"Through these eroded galleries run mountain streams, which are generally rapid but 

 narrow and which are spanned where the bridle paths cross them by rude log-and-plank 

 bridges. . . . It is so difficult to throw them across the boiling torrents of Daghestan 

 that in all the mountain communities the punishment for willful destruction of a bridge is 

 death" (see text, page 1117).
