The night is very dark - < the f party out on a fault - one break is found and one. member 0f the pa rt left behind to effect repairs. The rest move- on a short distance -to re- , pair another break. Soon the sound of! loud wailing and gnashing of 100 h 'filters- through the Niaouli trees from. the lone'ranger. Enquiries as to the cause of the disturbance reveal the. fact that the break has been mended (a.really; good job, in fact) BUT somehow*; the line has .found its ■ way- THROUGH the;' ladder rungs.
