Chapter 11 STRANGE HAPPENINGS
Everyone awoke at Anne's call. Julian thought he was in bed, and leapt out, forgetting that he was inthe top bunk1. He landed with a crash on the floor, shaken and alarmed.
'Oh, Ju! You forgot you were in the top bunk!' said George, half scared and half amused. 'Are youhurt? Anne, whatever is the matter? Why did you call out? Did you see something?'
'No. I heard something - and felt something!' said Anne, glad that the others were awake. 'So didTimmy. But it's all gone now.'
'Yes, but what was it?' asked Julian, sitting on the edge of Dick's bunk, and rubbing his knee, whichhad struck the floor when he fell.
'It was a... a... well... a kind of very very deep rumbling2,' said Anne. 'A deep-down rumbling -very far away. Not like thunder up in the sky. More like a thunderstorm underground! And then therewas a... a shuddering3! I felt the edge of my bunk and it seemed to be sort of - well -quivering. I can't quite explain it. I was awfully4 scared.'
'Sounds like a small earthquake,' said Dick, wondering if Anne had dreamt all this. 'Anyway -you can't hear or feel it now, can you? You're sure you didn't dream all this, Anne?'
'Quite sure!' said Anne, 'I...' And just at that very moment it all began again! First the curiousgrumbling, muffled6, and 'deep-down', as Anne had described it - then the equally strange'shuddering'. It crept through their bodies till they were all shuddering a little too, and could not stop.
'It's as if we were shivering in every part of us,' said Dick, in wonder. 'Sort of vibrating as if we hadtiny dynamo engines working inside us.'
'Yes! You've described it exactly!' said George. 'Goodness - when I put my hand on Timmy I can feelhim doing the 'shudders7' - and it's just like putting my hand on something working by electricity! Youknow the sort of small vibrations8 you feel then.'
46
'It's gone!' said Dick, just as George finished speaking. 'I'm not 'shuddering' any more. It suddenlystopped. And I can't hear that
