tended out like a knocked-down redwood in the forest; they seemed to go on for miles. The ball shot out of the opening like a cannonball, and I tried my best to stop it, but it kept on rolling.

I had to look for the missing passage and the options and here is the answer:"Here is New York" is a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell.
