309

Swiftly you regain control by steering into the skid. Then, as the wheels begin to grip, you bring the car around in a spectacular 180-degree turn and simultaneously cut the engine. You try to keep as still as possible as the pack of clansmen, fifty riders strong, roars past the site. Soon they have gone and your spirits are raised by the thought that there will now be at least fifty fewer of Mad Dog’s men to face when you reach San Angelo.

After satisfying yourself that the clansmen have gone, you cast your eyes around the derelict construction site.

If you wish to search the site, turn to 48.

If you wish to leave and continue your journey to San Angelo, turn to 230.
