The waggon, impelled by its weight, gained on the diligence every moment, and the pole was almost in contact with the back part of the vehicle. In desperation Schwarz whipped his horses, shouted at them like a madman, and urged them to their utmost speed. Just as they reached the level ground the waggon smashed into the rear of the dili- gence, which was thrown against and luckily retained by the stone parapet.
