They passed the highest point of their journey.In a few hours they would be out of the rocky mountains.

The train gave a shrill whistle and braked with a jerk and came to a halt.

Passepartout ,a French passenger, went to see what the matter was. The train had halted in the middle of no where.

The signal man said “The train can’t go on.The bridge cannot support the the weight.”It was a suspension bridge.

The driver said,”There is a chance of getting across the by letting the train proceed at maximum speed.”The driver reversed the train for nearly a mile.Then it moved so fast that the passengers had a feeling that the train was not resting on the tracks but was floating through the air.

The train was attacked by hundreds of Sioux Indians.

Many of them appeared from all sides and jumped on to the moving train

They were armed with rifles.

Some travellers had revolvers.They defended themselves by answering with pistol shots.

Passepartout slipped under the running train and holding on to the chains ,reached the engine.He separated the engine from the coaches.

They had neared a station ,where soldiers,attracted by the sound of shots ,hurried towards the train.The red Indians saw them and jumped off the running train.
