The disabled and immense piece of machinery, as our
readers are aware, lies on its side deeply embedded in the
ground, and, as we described yesterday, a temporary line
of rails had been laid down for the purpose of
making an easy road for it up the incline. A
number of chains having been appended to the off side and
from the cranes fixed above, the first effort made was to
haul the locomotive over, so as to get it upon the temporary
rails. After a great many attempts to effect this object, it
was found impossible to move the engine in the manner
proposed, so other means had to be devised.
A large and very powerful machine, called a " Sampson
screw," was then produced ; and having been fixed to the
side of the engine, the lifting power was applied, and
gradually the engine was raised inch by inch, but the
awkward position of it was not in the least degree altered ;
and alter a great many futile attempts, it was ultimately
decided to keep the engine partly raised from the ground
in order to enable the company's men to further extend the
temporary line of rails underneath it, so that in the event
of its turning over, by any of the means that are to be ap-
plied, it may fall upon the temporary trams.
We regret to announce that, while the efforts were being
made to raise the engine, one poor fellow received a very
severe injury to his hand, so much so that he was obliged
to be conveyed to the hospital.
