It was a cold and windy night;there was no one about,and here was no garage open to which he could turn for help.He was just about to give up,and spend the rest of the night on the back seat of the car,when he had a bright idea.He pushed his car round so that it was facing in the direction of the wind,opened all four doors,pushed it along a short way,and then jumped in.The doors acted like sails,and in no time the wind had taken him right out of the car-park,and away down the beach road.When he tried the starter-switch once more,the engine roared to life immediately.All he had to do then was to stop the car and shut the doors.

　　He went to bed later than usual,but he did not go without his cup of hot chocolate.Mr White was not a seaman for nothing.
