01x07 - High Tide

Post by bunniefuu »

the tugboat for its size is the most

powerful craft to float and the startups

are the power behind the docks and

waterways that make up the big city port

this is tux

big city port never ceased working

operations carried out throughout the

night were continued in the early

methods good stat high along the dock

sides were brought into court by Road

and by rail the lorries and wagons were

then reloaded with cargo from income

steamers and ferries and flyers

for delivery to England cities and

targets every one and every method of

transport played a part in moving goods

into and out of the port the work of our

tugs was an important link in the chain

it was non-stop and round-the-clock a

lifeblood of the whole operation was

cold without this dirty stuff

industry would have ground to a halt on

this very busy day Big Mac arrived at

the briefing having worked all night you

know it never fails to amaze me every

day I see something new today is the

sight of a floating sack of coal no less

on the other side of the harbor the

steel company was preparing for its move

to its new works across the bay big

Micky was the yards biggest crane he had

just finished placing a very tall and

heavy bridge section onto a barge

wrong wait anyway I've got an idea fool

Oh still listen if we can't through the

canal

follow us they can't get past it's not

wide enough

Lillian's I don't know how he says hey

late on boo they'll have to come back

and will you be out of sight

across the canal the lowest one carried

the railway the Zed stacks hadn't

connected they're tall low with the time

the highest of the season top hat was

coming towards them from the opposite

direction with a wide load as well as

the garbage barge there was no way the

Zed stacks and the star tongues could

pass each other when they did come face

to face someone was going to have to go

back the way they came they first saw

each other at the bend bleeding to the

railway bridge which had the lowest arch

over the canal top had stopped when he

saw the said stacks go into reverse if

you please it's my water

I repeat it is my water where if eeeh my

load is wider your five seconds to back

up but well serve you there right five

they made it top hat I am coming through

four so my three will see don't run

okay to the bridge far salmon you've got

him

what's right week that stars made much

both Zebedee and top hat put on full

power and search for words towards each

other and the bridge

he's gonna hit hold on I'm going into

reverse he's back enough didn't I tell

you sack didn't even make a fight of it

awesome w*r now the cream same reverse

engines

I can't stop that's real zero thinking w

suppose I can I'd better go get some

help

the tile train isn't it tear the bridge

it's it

wait a minute I got it if I can get that

steel rig under the bridge maybe it will

hold while the train gets across it's

worth a try

don't waste time cutting me free take me

with you you'll take that resting cone

oath I really turn in rubbish top hats

idea was to try and prop up a bridge if

he could get the steel rig into place

before the train got there it was signal

troops so there was no way anybody could

stop it

the witch was weakened by the ant

top-hat could only hope his idea would

work there was no way of warning the

Train

sure that was lucky

this is terrible oh no I know that was

on its the clutch train

we can't take this one it's impossible

if they don't work you can get yourself

but we all clean it up now

yep I bet everybody else had a really

easy dear waiting for the tide to go

down here yeah pick top hat delivered

Lord stinker

then moored up somewhere quiet yeah how

he always manages to take it nice and

easy

next day work started on the bridge

there was no serious damage to the goods

engine and its wagons we easily

recovered from the canal the steel

company weren't pleased with the damage

the Zen stacks have done to their steel

ring however it came out alright in the

end the steel company got the contract

for repairing the bridge and I had no

difficulty in convincing them that my

startup should get the contract for

delivering the steel
