This tunnel was originally built the proper size, but, after being walled up, there were indications of a general cave-in; so the company had to go to work and build another thick rock-wall inside the other, which leaves barely room for the trains to pass through without touching the sides. It is anything but an inviting path around the hill; but it is far the safer of the two.
Kerr drew aside on arriving at the fire, and sat his horse looking at it, the light on his face. Sim Hargus pointed to the glowing pit. "That's our little private hell. What do you think of it, kid?" he said, with his grunting, insulting sneer. The fire was visible only in front of them, in a jagged, irregular strip marking the cave-in of the crust.
Then these little children "stood and wept on the banks of the river," and the desolation and fear in the careful mother's heart, none but herself and her God can know. They lived on in the corn-crib, and it was from it they came to hail us as we passed to-day. Something had been told us of them on our downward trip, and a package had been left them at "Cave-in Rock," which they had not received.
But the surroundings were the same: still the cave-in, with its small hole where he had torn through it, still the ragged hanging wall where Harry had fired the last shots of dynamite in his investigations, still the trampled bit of fuse with its cap attached. Nothing more. Gingerly Fairchild picked up the cap and placed it where a chance kick could not explode it. Then he returned to the shaft.
Tom nodded and stepped up, feeling around the top of the opening. He began clawing at the sand overhead. The sand still came pouring through the opening. "See anything?" asked Astro. "I don't know " spluttered Tom as the sand slid down burying him to his waist. "Better back up, Tom," warned Roger. "Might be a cave-in and you'll get buried." "Wait a minute!" shouted Tom. "I think I see something!"
At the roughest kind of an estimate, we're all of a thousand years before the discovery of America now, and I think nearer three or four. And we're gaining speed all the time. So, though I am as sure as I can be sure of anything that we'll stop this cave-in eventually, I don't know where.
The trespass business was still hot in his mind. The cave-in of the Landlord had not entirely removed the sense of outrage. "Aren't you afraid of being held up for trespass?" asked he. "Trespass," replied the other, "not me. I ain't afeared of no farmers." Jones gave his experience. "Don't you be under no bloomin' error," said the tramp, when the recital was finished. "That chap was right enough.
The Germans were still determined to take the town, which they had showered with four million dollars' worth of shells. It would be big news: the fall of Ypres as a prelude to the fall of Przemysl and of Lemberg in their summer campaign of 1915. A wicked salient was produced in the British line to the south-east by the cave-in to the north. It seems to be the lot of the P.P.s to get into salients.
He gave one look at the damage which had been wrought, then plunged indoors again to throw his clothes on, at the same time sounding the hurry call for the attendants in other quarters of the Park. Last Bull, who had been standing on his knoll, with his back to the throngs, had wheeled in astonishment at the heavy sound of the cave-in.
Some sort of an accident happened at the mine this afternoon a cave-in or an explosion that tore out the roof of the tunnel and I am sure that my partner is injured, has made his way out of the mine, and is wandering among the hills. Will you help me to find him?" The sheriff wheeled about in his chair and studied a moment. Then he rose. "Guess I will," he announced.
