The steamer began to move slowly away, but on the land wood horizon appeared the unmistakable silhouette of a fighting machine. Another came, and another. Striving over hills and trees, plunging far out to sea and blocking the exit of the steamer. Between them lay the silent grey iron clad, Thunder Child. Slowly it moved towards shore, then with a deafening roar and whoosh of spray, it swung about and drove at full speed, towards the waiting Martians
[People]:
There were ships of shapes and sizes
Scattered out along the bay
And I thought I heard her calling
As the steamer pulled away
The invaders must have seen them
As across the coast they filed
Standing firm between them
There lay Thunder Child!
Moving swiftly through the waters
Cannons blazing as she came
Brought a mighty metal war lord
Crashing down in sheets of flame
Sensing victory was nearing
Thinking fortune must have smiled
People started cheering
"Come on Thunder Child!"
"Come on Thunder Child!"

The Martians released their black smoke, but the ship sped on, cutting down one of the tripod figures. Instantly, the others raised their Heat Rays, and melted the Thunder Child's valiant heart
