L39-2:
Nothing to worry about
/ˈnʌθɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ˈwʌri/ /əˈbaʊt/
What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly
/wɒt/ /ə/ /rɪˈliːf/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /wɛn/ /ðə/ /ˈbəʊldəz/ /ˈsʌdnli/
disappeared, giving way to a stretch of plain where the only
ˌ/dɪsəˈpɪəd,/ /ˈgɪvɪŋ/ /weɪ/ /tuː/ /ə/ /strɛʧ/ /ɒv/ /pleɪn/ /weə/ /ði/ /ˈəʊnli/
obstacles were clumps of bushes. But there was worse to
/ˈɒbstəklz/ /wɜː/ /klʌmps/ /ɒv/ /ˈbʊʃɪz./ /bʌt/ /ðeə/ /wɒz/ /wɜːs/ /tuː/
come. Just ahead of us there was a huge fissure. In response
/kʌm./ /ʤʌst/ /əˈhɛd/ /ɒv/ /ʌs/ /ðeə/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /hjuːʤ/ /ˈfɪʃə./ /ɪn/ /rɪsˈpɒns/
to renewed pleadings, Bruce stopped. Though we all got out
/tuː/ /rɪˈnjuːd/ /ˈpliːdɪŋz,/ /bruːs/ /stɒpt./ /ðəʊ/ /wiː/ /ɔːl/ /gɒt/ /aʊt/
to examine the fissure, he remained in the car. We informed
/tuː/ /ɪgˈzæmɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈfɪʃə,/ /hiː/ /rɪˈmeɪnd/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /kɑː./ /wiː/ /ɪnˈfɔːmd/
him that the fissure extended for fifty yards and was two feet
/hɪm/ /ðæt/ /ðə/ /ˈfɪʃər/ /ɪksˈtɛndɪd/ /fɔː/ /ˈfɪfti/ /jɑːdz/ /ænd/ /wɒz/ /tuː/ /fiːt/
wide and four feet deep. Even this had no effect. Bruce went
/waɪd/ /ænd/ /fɔː/ /fiːt/ /diːp./ /ˈiːvən/ /ðɪs/ /hæd/ /nəʊ/ /ɪˈfɛkt./ /bruːs/ /wɛnt/
into a low gear and drove at a terrifying speed, keeping the
/ˈɪntuː/ /ə/ /ləʊ/ /gɪər/ /ænd/ /drəʊv/ /æt/ /ə/ /ˈtɛrɪfaɪɪŋ/ /spiːd,/ /ˈkiːpɪŋ/ /ðiː/
front wheels astride the crack as he followed its zigzag
/frʌnt/ /wiːlz/ /əsˈtraɪd/ /ðə/ /kræk/ /æz/ /hiː/ /ˈfɒləʊd/ /ɪts/ /ˈzɪgzæg/
course. Before we had time to worry about what might
/kɔːs./ /bɪˈfɔː/ /wiː/ /hæd/ /taɪm/ /tuː/ /ˈwʌri/ /əˈbaʊt/ /wɒt/ /maɪt/
happen, we were back on the plain again. Bruce consulted
/ˈhæpən,/ /wiː/ /wɜː/ /bæk/ /ɒn/ /ðə/ /pleɪn/ /əˈgɛn./ /bruːs/ /kənˈsʌltɪd/
the map once more and told us that the village was now only
/ðə/ /mæp/ /wʌns/ /mɔːr/ /ænd/ /təʊld/ /ʌs/ /ðæt/ /ðə/ /ˈvɪlɪʤ/ /wɒz/ /naʊ/ /ˈəʊnli/
fifteen miles away. Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of
/ˈfɪfˈtiːn/ /maɪlz/ /əˈweɪ./ /ˈaʊə/ /nɛkst/ /ˈɒbstəkl/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /ˈʃæləʊ/ /puːl/ /ɒv/
water about half a mile across. Bruce charged at it, but in the
/ˈwɔːtər/ /əˈbaʊt/ /hɑːf/ /ə/ /maɪl/ /əˈkrɒs./ /bruːs/ /ʧɑːʤd/ /æt/ /ɪt,/ /bʌt/ /ɪn/ /ðiː/
middle, the car came to a grinding halt. A yellow light on the
/ˈmɪdl,/ /ðə/ /kɑː/ /keɪm/ /tuː/ /ə/ /ˈgraɪndɪŋ/ /hɑːt./ /ə/ /ˈjɛləʊ/ /laɪt/ /ɒn/ /ðiː/
dashboard flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced
/ˈdæʃbɔːd/ /flæʃt/ /ˈæŋgrɪli/ /ænd/ /bruːs/ /ˈʧɪəfʊli/ /əˈnaʊnst/
that there was no oil in the engine!
