Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE 'I'm afraid this is the end of our picnic,' said Julian. 'As long as Thunder-Along is in the field of corn, resting, he's safe- but if he goes off again, anything may happen!'

He added, 'We've got to report our news at once- and Dick, you'd better bike as fast as you can to that cornfield. Maybe the horse will still be there.' Dick ran to where he had left his bike, and leapt on it.

Dick planned out his way as he went. What would be the best way to get quickly to Rilling Hill? He soon made up his mind, and cycled along at top speed. It seemed a very long way- but at last he was cycling up the hill to where he hoped to find the field of corn. He was so OUT OF BREATH that he had to get off his bike and walk.
