In 1918 when the ship Makambo ran aground, hundreds of rats rode onto the beach with the wreckage. |
They're still combing through the wreckage now, trying to figure out what exactly happened. |
A 3,000-foot section of track was ripped off the gravel bed where 11 of the coaches jumped the track, leaving wreckage for a quarter of a mile. |
Although the site is not a war grave, the wreckage was returned to the tarn after identification. |
The sailors and coxswain running the whaleboat pushed off again to help the others towing away the wreckage. |
Getting back to the task at hand, he scooped visible wreckage away, wary of the glass shards and smiled in triumph as he spotted his quarry. |
