Plot
Salty warns Thomas and Percy that a storm is coming, but is upset when they begin mimicking his voice and thus he is glad when sent to collect Fergus from the smelters. Salty told Emily that Thomas and Percy were making fun of him. Emily told Thomas and Percy that they hurt Salty's feeling. On the way home, the storm arrives and a fuse blows in the lighthouse, confusing a ship captain out at sea. Luckily, Salty and Fergus are passing and Salty suggests that Fergus' flywheel be used to power the generator. When Salty arrives home the next day he is delighted to be lauded by, amongst others, the ship captain and the Fat Controller, even more so when Thomas and Percy apologise.
