An illustrated crossing. The apprentice must hop the street of rolling copy carts, rest on the median, then ride the galleys up the river of ink — the turtles dive, the ink takes the careless — to fill the five cases of the headline before the press bell. Every line gained pays, every case pays better, and the clock never stops.

Fig. 7 — The street of copy carts below; the median; the river of ink with its galleys and diving turtles; the five cases of the headline above. The proofreader sometimes waits on the long galleys — escort her for a bonus. On later fronts, a crocodile may claim a case, and a snake patrols the long galleys.
