== Dagny's second disappearance ==

Dagny did not wait for any bypass line. (Rearden would later lose that order anyway, after James Taggart and his cronies canceled it.) Dagny started on a trip west, on a temporary route, to stop [[Quentin Daniels]], a young engineer whom she had hired to try to reconstruct the electrostatic motor, from quitting and vanishing. She never arrived. The Comet turned into a "frozen train," but Dagny had gone on alone. As nearly as Henry could determine, she had found a small airfield and rented a new-model aircraft. She had last been seen flying into the [[Rocky Mountains]], and had never come out.

Then a former employee of Taggart Transcontinental, named [[Owen Kellogg]], called him with dire news: Dagny had found a small airfield and rented a new-model aircraft. She had last been seen flying into the [[Rocky Mountains]], and had never come out.

Henry headed west himself in his own plane, and searched for her, without success. This was probably the worst emotional crisis that he ever faced.
