Chapter 11 MOSTLY ABOUT JOCK
The three boys stood rather close together, glad to feel each other in the darkness. They couldn'tbelieve that they had found what they had come looking for so doubtfully! What kind of a trainwas this that had come rumbling2 out of the tunnel so mysteriously, and then, after a pause at theyard, had gone just as mysteriously back again?
'If only I hadn't twisted my ankle, we could have followed the train down the lines to the yard,and have gone quite close to it there,' groaned3 Dick. 'What an ass4 I am, messing things up at themost exciting moment!'
'You couldn't help it,' said Jock. 'I say - We've seen the spook-train! I can hardly believe it. Doesit go all by itself, with nobody to drive it? Is it a real train?'
'Judging by the noise it made, it's real all right,' said Julian. 'And it shot out smoke, too. All thesame, it's jolly strange. I can't say I like it much.'
'Let's go and see what's happened to Wooden-Leg Sam,' said Dick. 'I bet he's under his bed!'

They made their way slowly back to the yard, Dick limping a little, though his ankle waspractically all right again. When they came to the yard they looked towards Sam's hut. The lightwas there no longer.
'He's blown it out and got under the bed!' said Dick. 'Poor Sam! It really must be terrifying forhim. Let's go and peep into his hut.'
They went over to it and tried to see in at the window. But there was nothing to be seen. The hutwas in complete darkness. Then suddenly a little flare5 flashed out somewhere near the floor.
'Look - there's Sam! He's lighting6 a match,' said Julian. 'See - he's peeping out from under thebed. He looks scared stiff. Let's tap on the window and ask him if he's all right.'
But that was quite the wrong thing to do! As soon as Julian tapped sharply on the window, Samgave an anguished7 yell and retired8 hurriedly under the bed again, his wavering match-light goingout.
