technologian, who had been unloading
steel at the construction camp. had
been told of the arrest, and when
Winton reached the station he found
his assistant waiting for him.

time had grown suddenly precious.

Ten minutes later, when the. train

Donate and the Rosemary party was at
breakfast, the clank of steel and the
chanteys of the hammcrmen on the
other side of the canyon began again
