Alas | a terible storm arose, From where 1 donot know ; It swept the snow and piled it high, Aud the traivs refused 10 go. The storm 'grew worse, the winds did blow And made the snow to heave; And to my sorrow there 1 was "Absent without leave." The dayswent by,a week had passed Bat still the trains were held, The only thing 1 thought about Was meeting Major Weld. Al last a train came buntng thru', I sighed and askad to know 1f it would get to Whitby, Where 1 wanted much to go. The Brakie said they couldn't, The ConBuctor said they could, While the poo Enigneer smiling said They would if they could but they couldn't. However, 1 embarked On this train that gels your nerve; The pagsengers they hollered As we swung around the curve, IL dashed through the drifts And made the snow glitter, Believe me, dear reader, This train's a wind-splitter. We landed in Whitby, Almost half-a.day late, All in good spirits : Ana 1 thought I was a jake Marched into my cotlage As il I'd been told.

He smiled as he said, "You sentence will be Nine day's pay stopped And ten days C. B." Again he smiled and said to me, "You've had a nice vacation."
