Robot sat  sadly in the coal shed while Bob worked hard seaching for a way to get out. He tried shouting   through the small, glass window but it didn’t  work. He tried to unlock the door while Robert stayed lost in his thoughts.

Bob snapped at Robert to help, but he only muttered  that escaping was impossible . As evening turned to night the coal shed grew dark, and shadows crept across the room outside, the moon light lit up in the gardens of Brackenbridge Manor. 

Suddenly They heard a noise outside.Tiberius appeared at the window. Bob wound him up, and he dropped a key into  his hands.He used it to unlock the shed door and  the children crept outside.  They ran across the lawn and escaped to an old barn, with Tiberius leading the way.

Safe in the barn, they made a fire and talked about their next step. Where was the mysterious clock? What were John Hartman’s plans for the  shipship? And where had gone?
