On the Nord Express Dr. David Jebb travels toward America with five-year-old ward Cynthia Thatcher. He confides his struggle with liquor to former classmate Big Bill Gaines as the pair confront his lingering vice while safeguarding the child.
On a stalled train a costly act of kindness backfires as Billy Gaines springs to fetch oranges for a child, then the train lurches away leaving him stranded outside the door. Jebb anxiously hopes for a shipboard reunion while the girl Cynthia Thatcher watches from the window.
In a hasty bid to halt a Kaiser train for the child’s safety, Jebb is knocked nearly senseless as the car lurches. He suffers a mashed thumb, reels from exhaustion, and is revived by a mix of brandy and aid from strangers while Cynthia clings to hope amid chaos.
The House News is produced by Neal Smith and his 10 year old twin Virginia to cheer their ailing mother. The tiny four to eight page paper uses pencil art and wax rubbings, with Neal drawing Herky Boy and Virginia covering local events such as a fire and weddings.
