He glanced back, and turned to Tom. "They're still after us," he said grimly. "I want to drop the last box-car. Can you get back there and tell the men?" "Yes," answered Tom. "Why not break 'through the ends of all the cars so we can get back and forth without having to climb over the roofs!" "All right but hurry. Uncouple just as soon as you can."
No speed which he could give his train by backing would enable it to escape those uncontrolled cars. He sent his fireman back to the first car, with orders to uncouple the engine. He whistled 'on brakes' to his train, so that it should be held on the grade safely. And he, and the engine alone, went on up that grade, and met that flying mass of freight. He saved two hundred people's lives.
I was just getting up to learn what was going on, when the guard entered, lantern in hand. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said, "but there is something amiss. The linch-pin of the parlour-car has become over-heated, and we had to uncouple the car and leave it behind.
But the preparations were now so far advanced and going on so warmly that nothing more was wanting than, in the words of Aerssens, "to uncouple the dogs and let them run." Recruits were pouring steadily to their places of rendezvous; their pay having begun to run from the 25th March at the rate of eight sous a day for the private foot soldier and ten sous for a corporal.
"Ay tank," said Ole, "dat bane hellufa notion!" "Come," said Mr. Elkins, "we're losing time! Uncouple at once!" We started to mount the engine; but Schwartz and Ole were before us, barring the way. "Wait," said Schwartz. "Jest look at it, now.

"By the rood!" said King Louis, observant to catch the vein of his dangerous cousin, "since the ass has put on the boar's hide, I would set the dogs on him to bait him out of it!" "Right! right!" exclaimed Duke Charles, the fancy exactly chiming in with his humour at the moment "it shall be done! Uncouple the hounds! We will course him from the door of the Castle to the east gate!"

But the law of New York State says that married couples shall not uncouple amicably and intelligently. If they will part it must be with bitterness and laceration.
You and Pedro stay here with the other guards and the passengers. As we near the bandits, uncouple the train, put on the brakes and stop the coaches. We will rush by with the engine and express car, firing as we go " "Which will be all right," interrupted Billie, "if they don't ditch the engine." Adrian's face fell. "I hadn't thought of that."
