Then he saw a man moving between the second and third cars. Before Whitby could give a warning ? he was knocked down by two men. Mills was ordered to drive the train to a bridge that crossed a road. The last eleven cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge,the bags of money were unloaded(卸下)from the train and thrown into waiting trucks.
