Will Garvie, who was putting a finishing drop of oil into some part of the machinery, took his station beside his mate and eased off the brake. The first was a very soft pulsation a mere puff but it was enough to move the ponderous engine as if it had been a cork, though its actual weight with tender was fifty-three tons. Another puff, and slowly the iron horse moved out of its stable.
They are the worthy sons of their famous father, Stephen R. Riggs, D.D., one of the heroic pioneers in the Dakota work. The native ministers are Francis Frazier, Edwin Phelps, James Garvie, James Wakutamani and Elias Gilbert. This association is a mighty factor in God's plan, for the upbuilding of the Dakotas, in the things that are noble and of good report.
He shut off steam, and was about to whistle for the guard to apply the brakes, while Will Garvie, who also saw the danger, was already turning on the brakes of the tender. John reflected that it would be impossible to come to a stand within the space that lay between him and the cart and that a partial concussion would be almost certain to throw his engine off the rails.
There he was continually employed in shifting the points for the shunting of trains, none of which dared to move, despite their mighty power and impatience, until Will Garvie gave them leave. To John Marrot, the accident although not severe at first, had proved more damaging in the long-run.
"No, we haven't got quite that length yet," laughed Will Garvie; "but if you look along you'll see gilding, and glazing, and painting going on, at that first-class carriage. Still farther along, in the direction we're going, is the infirmary." "The infirmary, Willum!" "Ay, the place where old and damaged trucks and carriages are sent for repair.
It was then re-measured; found not to have expanded a hair's-breadth, and, therefore, as Will Garvie took care to explain, was passed as a sound well-tempered spring; whereat Bob remarked that it would need to be a good-tempered spring, to suffer such treatment without grumbling.
Poor Will Garvie! his was a sad loss, yet, strange to say, he rejoiced over it.
It was his wife that gave me the information in a moment of over-confidence." "Indeed!" exclaimed Sharp, in some surprise; "and what of Sam Natly and Garvie?" "They're both of 'em innocent, sir," said Blunt. "I did suspect 'em at one time, but I have seen and heard enough to convince me that they have no hand in the business.
"'Cause I've got to pass him up wi' the express in half-an-hour," replied Sam, with his mouth full, "and, of course, he don't prefer takin' tea on the Lightenin' with his mate Bill Garvie, w'en he's got a chance o' takin' it wi' his wife and a little angel, like you." "I wish you'd not talk nonsense, Sam," remonstrated Gertie with a serious look. "That ain't nonsense," said Sam, stoutly.
This tongue, Will Garvie assured his companion, was the hammer. "No, no, Willum," said Mrs Marrot, with a smile, "you mustn't expect me for to believe that. I may believe that the moon is made of green cheese, but I won't believe that that's a 'ammer." "No: but is it, Bill?" asked Bob, whose eyes gleamed with suppressed excitement. "Indeed it is; you shall see presently."
