I have been re-reading Winter Holiday (it is that season of the year) again. When the D's are struggling through the blizzard trying to reach the North Pole, Dick takes a light rope, tying one end to the sledge, and taking the other end, goes off into the dark searching for anything, but with the rope is able to get back to Dorothea at the sledge.

This process of searching with a rope reminds me of another time that Dick did a similar thing. In Pigeon Post, when they were lost going through the Old Level after the roof had collapsed behind them, they came to several tunnels. Dick took a string and used it to explore the several branches, using the string to be sure he could get back to the others who were standing still holding the other end of the string.

It just seemed to be a similar technique.

Dick is a remarkable fellow, to be as educated as he is, yet to be as young as he is supposed to be.
