“I can’t see very well,” I said.

‘‘Catch the train,” ordered Mr. Pudgins.

“There it goes,” said Janey. “I … I think.” The smoke was really down upon us now.

“I don’t see it,” said Petey.

“Neither do I,” said I.

“Now don’t get excited,” said Mr. Pudgins.

“It’s getting awfully thick,” wailed Petey. “Where are you, Janey?”

It really was getting thick. I couldn’t see my hand when I held it out straight before me. “Johnny,” said Mr. Pudgins’ voice in the smoke.

“Here I am, Mr. Pudgins,” I answered.

“Johnny, grab Janey’s hand; and Jane, you find Pete. Now if I can just find Johnny.”

I stumbled around and bumped my head on the floor lamp, then whammed against the end table. I was more cautious after that. Finally, I bumped into Jane. She had corraled Pete. We stumbled around some more, and suddenly out of the dark came a hand that grabbed my collar. It was Mr. Pudgins’. All during this time we would hear a faint whistle now and then. Once something shot out of the dark and right past me. I jumped. Petey yelled, “There she goes.” But we were too late. It was gone.

“Now,” said Mr. Pudgins, “we must have a plan.”

“Oh my,” said Janey, “it’s awfully dark.”

“I hear it,” yelled Petey. He seemed to think that the dark made us slightly deaf.

“I think.” said Mr. Pudgins. “that we must first find the tracks.”
