Mr Walsh, the farmer, met the boy at the station. He arrived in an old farm truck, got down from it, and stood and looked at the boys for a minute. Then he said, "well, you've arrived". He wasn't a big man, but he looked very strong. "Get yourselves into the back of the truck,'he said',and don't stand up if you want to arrive in one piece. The boys soon understood what he meant. There were no seats in the back of the truck, and Mr Walsh drove very fast. They were soon falling about everywhere,and they had to hold on to their bags and camping things.
