25 Chapter V.
CAPTURING THE TRAIN.
E reached the place about dayhght, We heard the brakeman shout, "Big Shanty, you can breakfast here !" We quickly hurried out.
The engineer and fireman And trainmen generally, Poured out and hurried to their lunch And left the engine free.
26 Now was our time to make a dash, We could not long delay, Andrews whispered, "All right, boys; On now and speed away." I quickly drew the coupling pin, They scrambled quickly on, I pulled the throttle open wide, Then, qui...ckly we were gone.
As we pulled out I caught a glimpse Of the excited throng Running about in wild dismay, I did not view them long, For they were soon lost to our view As we were hurled along, Once past a curve I saw no more Of the excited throng.
27 Soon afterwards we stopped our train And soon removed a rail, In order that we might delay Those following our trail; We also cut the wires down Which side beside us ran; John Scott climbed quickly up the pole, He was an active man.
We cut a piece of wire out And placed it in our train, So that pursuers all might fail To mend the breach again; Then we proceeded on our way According to our plan.
