"Chaos!"
Tull relates everything to Cora. He says that Darl jumped free (Cash told him to, but Cora accuses him of cowardice). Jewel holds onto the rope at the other bank.
Where's Anse during all this? Like you have to ask.
Cora: "I notice Anse was too smart to been on it a-tall." (152)
Tull: "I don't know what you want, then," I said. "One breath you say they was daring the hand of God to try it, and the next breath you jump on Anse because he wasn't with them." (153)
Cora's argument-ender:
"...with that singing look in her face like she had done give up folks and their foolishness and had done went on ahead of them, marching up the sky, singing." (153)
By the way, Cash can't swim! (154)
