Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... THE RETURN I HID behind a side-tracked car until there echoed clear As a signal of the starting, two sharp whistles on my ear, Then, with a long, laborious groan the freight got under way And ponderous cars went hulking by like elephants at play.

Now, like gigantic fireflies clustered on a Malay tree, The lamps of the division-end across the dark I see. . . . Dim boxcars huddle everywhere ... I laugh as I alight, For, safe and sound in life and limb, I'm home again tonight!
