When the explosion occurred at Wells, Fargo

One of our Portland boys narrowly escaped.

Nothing said he. but they would have

lvered, and nothing would have saved me in
such excitement as existed there. And do you
know he continued how near you came to
going to glory on board that steamer? I opened
that box with chisel just as they did the box
at Wells, Fargos, and if 1 had struck the
slightest drop of the nitro-glycerine the City of
