His
face
,
she
thought
,
and
the
cold
,
radiant
clarity
of
his
voice
,
of
his
mind
,
of
his
drive
to
a
single
purpose
.
The
face
was
like
his
words
—
as
if
the
line
of
a
single
theme
ran
from
the
steady
glance
of
the
eyes
,
through
the
gaunt
muscles
of
the
cheeks
,
to
the
faintly
scornful
,
downward
curve
of
the
mouth
—
the
line
of
a
ruthless
asceticism
.
The
day
began
with
the
news
of
a
disaster
:
a
freight
train
of
the
Atlantic
Southern
had
crashed
head
-
on
into
a
passenger
train
,
in
New
Mexico
,
on
a
sharp
curve
in
the
mountains
,
scattering
freight
cars
all
over
the
slopes
.
The
cars
carried
five
thousand
tons
of
copper
,
bound
from
a
mine
in
Arizona
to
the
Rearden
mills
,
Rearden
telephoned
the
general
manager
of
the
Atlantic
Southern
,
but
the
answer
he
received
was
:
"
Oh
God
,
Mr
.
Rearden
,
how
can
we
tell
?
How
can
anybody
tell
how
long
it
will
take
to
clear
that
wreck
?
One
of
the
worst
we
’
ve
ever
had
.
.
.
I
don
’
t
know
,
Mr
.
Rearden
.
There
are
no
other
lines
anywhere
in
that
section
.
The
track
is
torn
for
twelve
hundred
feet
.
There
’
s
been
a
rockslide
.
Our
wrecking
train
can
’
t
get
through
.
I
don
’
t
know
how
we
’
ll
ever
get
those
freight
cars
back
on
rails
,
or
when
.
Can
’
t
expect
it
sooner
than
two
weeks
.
.
.
Three
days
?
Impossible
,
Mr
.
Rearden
!
.
.
.
But
we
can
’
t
help
it
!
.
.
.
But
surely
you
can
tell
your
customers
that
it
’
s
an
act
of
God
!
What
if
you
do
hold
them
up
?
Nobody
can
blame
you
in
a
case
of
this
kind
!
"
In
the
next
two
hours
,
with
the
assistance
of
his
secretary
,
two
young
engineers
from
his
shipping
department
,
a
road
map
,
and
the
long
-
distance
telephone
,
Rearden
arranged
for
a
fleet
of
trucks
to
proceed
to
the
scene
of
the
wreck
,
and
for
a
chain
of
hopper
cars
to
meet
them
at
the
nearest
station
of
the
Atlantic
Southern
.
The
hopper
cars
had
been
borrowed
from
Taggart
Transcontinental
.
The
trucks
had
been
recruited
from
all
over
New
Mexico
,
Arizona
and
Colorado
.
Rearden
’
s
engineers
had
hunted
by
telephone
for
private
truck
owners
and
had
offered
payments
that
cut
all
arguments
short
.
It
was
the
third
of
three
shipments
of
copper
that
Rearde
had
expected
;
two
orders
had
not
been
delivered
:
one
company
had
gone
out
of
business
,
the
other
was
still
pleading
delays
that
it
could
not
help
.
