He went on some way towards the pit's mouth, then his mind misgave him, and he turned back. To a stranger, all the traps would have looked alike, but he well knew the one at which Dick was stationed. He pushed it open, and there, at a little distance from it, he saw a small heap of clothes. He sprang forward. It was Dick. Was his boy dead? He feared so. The child neither moved nor breathed.
He was now beginning to learn that much unnecessary wear and tear arose on the short lines of rail down from the pit's mouths to the loading-places on the river by the inequalities and roughnesses of the joints; and he invented a method of overlapping the rails which quite got over this source of loss loss of speed, loss of power, and loss of material at once.
"I owe him ah, Adrian might have paid the debt!" she cried, in pain. "If he had only been a man to-night " At that moment there came a loud noise up the valley from the pit's mouth a great shouting.

I've got four extinguishers at work. Two engines out of commission. Another only limping! And " He crumpled, suddenly, dropping to the metals.
He had been sitting there for some time, when he saw, by the way that people were running towards the pit's mouth, that something was wrong. He got up, and as fast as his lame foot would let him, hurried in the same direction. Too soon he learned what had happened. There had been a fearful explosion.
