motion and che fact that he was hears sighted,
and 80 he walked right into IT, and IN an instant
his mutilAted body was hurled IN fragments
about the mil, among the bewi dered Y0rEmen.
The sight OF an arm or leg descending among
those who did not see the accident thrilled them
with fear and wonder. The shocking affair
soon became known, and when the terrible
wheel st0Oa still Its appearance told a fearful
story. The trunk OF the old mans body lay he
side the pit, aud the difficult task OF collecting
his scattered re mans was entered upon. The
head was missing and nowhere tO be fOU nd i'm.
