4476. It was not always like that. One time, about ten years
ago the engine, a single engine, shut off in mid-flight and did not come on for
almost a minute while the craft slowly descended toward the water.
4477. That made his hair stand on end, and forced him to say
his prayers under his breath while gasping for air because of a shortness of
breath.
4478. He would have quit his pilot's job that day if it was
not for his poverty, a poverty brought on by his obsession with gambling, and
his constant drinking, but he recovered his wits after several years of patient
suffering.
4479. I apologize about all this detail concerning the
pilot. What has the pilot got to do with the story anyway? Nothing I am aware
of, at least not at the present time. He was the reason for Coromo's attack of
fear, and that attack of fear will be an important factor in our story.
