distress noun

Damals stand die Maschine bereits still, und der Maschinist, als er die Locomotive allein, ohne Wagen hinter sich sah, dachte sich, was vorgefallen war, und er war überzeugt, daß der zurückgebliebene Zug in Bedrängniß sei.
The train had then stopped. The engineer, when he found himself in the desert, and the locomotive without cars, understood what had happened.
