Description
The line slopes down to the harbor, Percy pulled the trucks a little way up the hill clear of the points. As he stopped, one of the trucks brakes slipped on. When Percy began to push, the trucks started with a jerk and a coupling broke! Four loose trucks, heavy with stone gathered speed.

"Help! Help!" They wailed.

A shunter bravely tried to stop them but only broke his pole.

The trucks rattled along quay straight towards Bulstrode, unsuspecting of this.

Bulstrode could hear the rattle and a shout or two but could see nothing. Theodore on the other hand could see the line of trucks approaching and closed his eyes preparing for the impact.
