Rule I. All passengers when upset are requested to lie still until picked up—as it is requisite that at least 3 trains should go over them, to entitle them to the attention of the doctor and assistants.

II. If a passenger comes up to a station after the train has passed the next (i. e. when it is about 100 m off) he may not run after it but must wait for the next.

III. When a passenger has no money and still wants to go by the train, he must stop at whatever station he happens to be at, and earn money—by making tea for the station master (who drinks it all hours of the day and night) and grinding sand for the company (what use they make of it they are not bound to explain).
