y got my eye on a likelylooking chap for your successor. Kelly wasnt at the entrance of thetunnel nor at his watchbox, as I ascer-tained after an hours stalking. Thatmeant he was either inside or else hadgotten wind of my intentions and fled.As there was no possibility of his suspect-ing anything it meant that I would haveto go in after him. Knowing the manand his reputation for shooting first andinvestigating afterward, I determined togo in without a light. As I entered a coal digger camethundering west. The three engines,made necessary by the heavy grade, leftthe tunnel filled with suffocating gases.It was now or never, I thought, andplunged in. Fifty feet inside and the gloom changedfrom gray to black. There was no soundexcept the dripping of water and theclatter of ballast as I stumbled overthe ties.
