at 10.35, and going down to Paragon Station, got on board.

After clearing the suburbs the line came down close to the river,
and the two friends kept a good look-out for the depot. About four
and a half miles out they stopped at a station called Hassle, then
a couple of miles farther their perseverance was rewarded and they
saw a small pier and shed, the latter bearing in large letters on
its roof the name of the syndicate. Another mile and a half brought
them to Ferriby, where they alighted.

"Now what about walking back to Hassle," Hilliard suggested, "and
seeing what we can see?"

They followed the station approach road inland until they reached
the main thoroughfare, along which they turned eastwards in the
direction of Hull. In a few minutes they came in sight of the depot,
half a mile off across the fields. A lane led towards it, and this
they followed until it reached the railway.
