This

is

unique

in

my

thirty

years

of

experience

,

"

said

Mr

.

Bland

.

"

Absolutely

unprecedented

and

inexplicable

,

sir

.

The

special

has

gone

wrong

between

Kenyon

Junction

and

Barton

Moss

.

"

"

And

yet

there

is

no

siding

,

so

far

as

my

memory

serves

me

,

between

the

two

stations

.

The

special

must

have

run

off

the

metals

.

But

how

could

the

four

-

fifty

parliamentary

pass

over

the

same

line

without

observing

it

?

"

"

There

’

s

no

alternative

,

Mr

.

Hood

.

It

must

be

so

.

Possibly

the

local

train

may

have

observed

something

which

may

throw

some

light

upon

the

matter

.

We

will

wire

to

Manchester

for

more

information

,

and

to

Kenyon

Junction

with

instructions

that

the

line

be

examined

instantly

as

far

as

Barton

Moss

.

"

The

answer

from

Manchester

came

within

a

few

minutes

.

"

No

news

of

missing

special

.

Driver

and

guard

of

slow

train

positive

no

accident

between

Kenyon

Junction

and

Barton

Moss

.

Line

quite

clear

,

and

no

sign

of

anything

unusual

.

—

Manchester

.

"

"

That

driver

and

guard

will

have

to

go

,

"

said

Mr

.

Bland

,

grimly

.

"

There

has

been

a

wreck

and

they

have

missed

it

.

The

special

has

obviously

run

off

the

metals

without

disturbing

the

line

—

how

it

could

have

done

so

passes

my

comprehension

—

but

so

it

must

be

,

and

we

shall

have

a

wire

from

Kenyon

or

Barton

Moss

presently

to

say

that

they

have

found

her

at

the

bottom

of

an

embankment

.

But

Mr

.

Bland

’

s

prophecy

was

not

destined

to

be

fulfilled

.

Half

an

hour

passed

,

and

then

there

arrived

the

following

message

from

the

station

-

master

of

Kenyon

Junction

—

"

There

are

no

traces

of

the

missing

special

.

It

is

quite

certain

that

she

passed

here

,

and

that

she

did

not

arrive

at

Barton

Moss

.

We

have

detached

engine

from

goods

train

,

and

I

have

myself

ridden

down

the

line

,

but

all

is

clear

,

and

there

is

no

sign

of

any

accident

.
