THE BATH ACIOIDENT.
(Cohr(rased from third par.)
The scene of this calamily was visited on Sonday by
thousandii of persons front 'Bristol and other places. There
have no other bodies found, and it io not considered likely
there will he. as the river has been thorolghly draw
AU the patients. both in hospital and in private houses.,
are going on favourably. but none have sufficiently
recovered to leave for their homes. Inquiries show that
the number of injuries was considerably larger than as
stated, for many went or were conveyed away without •
record being made.—Twe such cases are the following:—
Mr. Short, farmer. Chetnole. Dorset, who had his leg
injured and two toes amputated ; Mr. Ford, also a farmer,
residing near Sherborne. who was hurt seriously on one
leg. The latter was • brother of Mr. James Ford, of
Ileerharket, who was so much injured that he died the day
after the accident. The sad catastrophe was refereed to in
most of the places of worship in the city and neighbour-
hood. - -

Mr. George Garrett, of Trent, near Shsrborne, a
farmer, told us he came to visit the show. They were
detained on the bridge five minutes. Immediately
before the bridge fell be remarked to a friend "flow
shaky this brie in, I hope its quite safe." The
words were hardly out of his month when the bridge
gave way with a crash, lie concluded hie narrative
thus hardly knew what followed; I thought we
were all doomed I fell amongst a lot of people. All
around me were people fighting and struggling each
for himself. Women were greening each other by the
hair and screaming. I grasped • piece of wood and
held on for my life, and WWI pulled out in a boat. I
afterwards went to a tailor's and, like many others,
obtained a new suit of clothes.
Another survivor sap!, my name is George Andress.
I live at Beaminster, Dorset, and am a cooper. I
came by the train. I joined it at Maiden Newton.
It was a long train. I got out of the train at Bath,
and wee coming over the bridge. It was crowded as
thick as we could come. I was about three parts of
the way over the bridge, when I heard a crashing
noise, and with that the bridge came down. The scene
was terrible. There was great excitement, but I had
no time to think of that. I clung to the bridge, and
had great difficulty in bolding my head above water.
At last I managed to scramble out by means of a
ladder.
One of the most marvellous escapes was that of
Edward Mitchell, Manor Farm, Mere, Wiltshire, who
said
"1 came to Bath to visit the show with nine friends,
including rny daughter and two sons. On arrival at the
station at Bath some of my friends observed a notice
stating that the nearest way to the show was by going
across the toll-bridge. We went, and were soon in the
midst of a crowd of people. One of our party, • Mr.
Oliver, • builder, of London, who is now in the hoopital,
remarked that the bridge wag not safe when so many
people were upon it. Some dispute was going on at the
toll-gate about paying the fare. I believe some people
thought that they ought not to he charged anything. In
the midst of this hubbub I heard the bridge crack.
are going,' I said to a friend at my side, and in an instant
—for the crowd was so dense that we could not get
towards either end of the bridge—the bridge fell. The
shock was tremendous, and the people were hurled about
in all directions. I saw a man fall within a few feet of
me, and in the descent he received • severe Now on the
head, and was killed, I believe. instantaneously. I clung
to the wreck of the bridge. The water was up to my
neck, and I remained no for 20 minutes., when I was
dragged quite helpless into a boat and landed. My two
boys were near me the whole of the time, and one found
a woesan's baby in the water."
John Thomas Mitchell, the son referred to by Mr.
Mitchell as having saved a chill, stated that the mother
of the infant, which was only four months old, swooned,
and seeing the baby underneath the water he managed to
secure it and pLseed it in the boat, but he believed it had
since expired. He himself escaped, he said, easily enough
by crawling up the halt-submerged timbers. In answer
to a question, Mr. Mitchell expressed an opinion that
there were no bodies beneath the portions of the bridge
now in the water, and he added that he thought it was
only those who were standing on or against the centre of
the bridge—a position which he occupied—who fell
directly into the water. Those who were standing on the
sides of the bridge either fell on the sides of the river or
tumbled on the top of throe who fell from the centre of
the structure. Ile citing to the railings of the bridge
until • boat came to his assistance, and escaped, with a
slight injury to his ankle.
Mr. Huntingdon, a gentleman residing at Wideomlis,
told IL4 he was accosted in 4 !laverten-street by two farmers,
who enquired the way to the Show Yard. He was
directing them, and whilst doing so he heard the crash.
Ile instantly ran to the spot, and saw a confused mass of
lessons struggling and screaming in the water, or holding
to pieces of wood. He obtained a ladder, and assisted in
rescuing persons. The first he pulled out was a young
man, with hut one leg, named Lintmr. Ile was quite
dead. Ile then assisted in pulling out a young woman,
who was lammed between the timbers and the irons.
To do this her clothes had to be rut She too was dead.
