A Fishy Adventure

A Fishy Adventure is a magazine story illustrated using photographs from the television series.

Plot
At the docks, Cranky had carelessly dropped a load of fish onto Thomas. At last, all the boxes of fish were loaded and Thomas set off. He loved steaming along beside the sea. Thomas had not got very far when a signalman flagged him down. The signalman informs Thomas that the track ahead had been damaged by waves. Thomas' driver promises the signalman that they will warn the other engines.

It was getting dark as Thomas chuffed into the big station. Henry was complaining about Thomas being late. Thomas tells the big engine how difficult and dangerous his journey had been. Henry steams off along the seaside track, determined to show Thomas how fast he can get to the harbour. It was now very dark and foggy and the signalman had gone home. The next minute, Henry felt the tracks crack beneath his wheels. He slid into the sea.

Henry had to wait until morning to be rescued. A crane lifted him into a barge filled with smelly fish. The children and Cranky laughed as Henry was towed by. When Cranky had finally stopped laughing, he lifted Henry back onto the rails. The Fat Controller then ordered Thomas to pull Henry to the wash-down, so that he can be cleaned before he returns to work.
