A short sketch puts Mr. K. on Alsea Road near a potato truck. Talking to himself and flying through the air lead to an ending of Big crash!.
The fragment gives motion and a sudden ending without explaining the event. The word after Mr. K. is omitted rather than guessed, and several other cursive readings remain provisional. A canceled bottle leaves an awkward transition into the surviving whiskey row.
Seven cursive rows: 'STArts off - Mr. K.' with the next word omitted, 'on the Alsea rd. -' with two unstable words omitted, 'out on the potato truck -', 'talking to him-self - flying / through the air -', 'of whiskey in his hand -', ending 'Big crash!'.
A note for a scene of a man in motion on a road and a truck, ending in a crash. Two short gaps leave who is doing what partly unclear, so the page is read only as an outline of the scene.
