Supper was served on the train, and then came the making up of the
berths in the sleeping car. This was nothing new to the Bobbseys now,
and soon they were all in bed.
It was dark and about the middle of the night when all in the sleeping
car were suddenly awakened by a loud crash. The train stopped with a
jerk, there was a shrieking of whistles, and then loud shouts.
"What is it?" called Mrs. Bobbsey from her berth.
"Probably there has been a wreck," said Mr. Bobbsey, as he quickly got
out of his berth and into the aisle. "But no one here seems to be
hurt, though I think the car is off the track."
Flossie and Freddie and Bert and Nan stuck their heads out between the
curtains hanging in front of their berths. They wondered what had
happened.
CHAPTER XVII
AT THE RANCH
After the first crash in the night, and the rattling and bumping of
the sleeping car in which they were riding, the Bobbsey twins heard
nothing more that was exciting except the whistling of the locomotive
and the shouting of men outside the train.
