The trainmen, on the other hand, used no fine phrases. They called it simply "Number Seventeen"; and, when it started, said it had "pulled out." On the evening in question, there it stood, nearly ready.
A well-placed volley of rifle-balls checked the Indians, and they wheeled and rode away, after sending in a scattering cloud of arrows, which wounded several of the trainmen.
The coach used had a partition run through it, and, as soon as the busy trainmen discovered ladies on board, they unceremoniously drove the more bibulous passengers, protesting, into the forward compartment.
Inquiry of the trainmen disclosed the fact that the nearest one was three miles from Miller's Beach. "Guess I'll chance it," concluded Larry. "We'll be there in an hour," went on the brakeman. "It's the jumping-off place, so to speak, and it's not going to be very pleasant there when the storm breaks."
With a watchman, unknown to the trainmen, on every train, the officials hoped now to solve the mystery in a very short time. The old engineer, McNally, who had found the rock in the cañon, had boasted in the lodge-room, in the round-house and out, that if ever he got the "ghost-sign," he'd let her go.

Martin moved over and made room for the stranger between himself and his engineer. "What luck?" asked the latter. "Hard luck," was the answer, and without more talk the men hurried on through the meal.
In her father's car there was never lacking the waiting deference of trainmen; in the cab the men did not even see her. In the seclusion of the car a storm hardly made itself felt; in the cab she seemed under the open sky.
I do not fear death. I cannot go to a worse place than I am now in." John D. Lee deserved his fate, but Brigham Young was none the less a coward. The Danites spared the lives of the trainmen, but they made sad havoc of the supplies. These they knew to be intended for the use of the army opposed to Brigham Young.
The trainmen were old frontiersmen, and although taken wholly by surprise, they lined up swiftly in battle array behind the wagons, with the bosses, Bill and Frank McCarthy, at their head, and the "boy extra" under the direction of the wagon-master.
