He paused and Bob felt that it would be well for him to explain what he had seen.
“You looked like you were hypnotized,” he explained. “I came over and caught you, but you were out cold. Believe me, you had us worried for a while.”
Just then the Pullman conductor looked in.
“Made up your mind about calling an ambulance at the division point?” he asked. Then he saw Tully propped into a half-way sitting position and his face brightened.
“Coming around now?”
“He’s feeling better. We’ll go right on through to Jacksonville,” said Bob and the conductor went on about his duties.
“Didn’t you think I’d come around?” asked Tully, a look of worry on his forehead.
“We didn’t know just what was happening for a while,” explained Bob. “You had us pretty badly scared.”
Tully looked thoughtful.
“I honestly don’t know what took place,” he said, slowly shaking his head. “It seemed as though blackness simply exploded in my face. Actually I believe there was some kind of a shock or blow on my face.”
