The side lights showed tho branrh road, and Dnvis. who was driving, attempted the turn when the cnr started to skid 1eavily. He liloinptly righted It and then It went over the other side and started down tho embankment. Medlock a thrown clear of the machine, but Mav is, under the steering wheel, couldn't gel out at once. A moment later he slid from under the wheel, but the cnr wa over an1 he began kicking at the doer of t e t ar.
