about nine o'clock in the evening
The driver had found on pulling up that just ahead of the train a small landslip had taken place , some of the red earth from the high bank having fallen away . It did not however reach to the metals ; and the driver had resumed his way , none too well pleased at the delay . To use his own words , the guard thought `` there was too much bally caution on this ` ere line ! ' '' We arrived at Westerton about nine o'clock in the evening . Carts and horses were in waiting , and the work of unloading the train began at once . Our own party did not wait to see the work done , as it was in the hands of competent people . We took the carriage which was in waiting , and through the darkness of the night sped on to Kyllion .
