No novelist ever devised a more in,ens,
" dramatic and pitiful situation than wss
witnessed last week beside the track of
the Southern Pacific Coast R,ilroad near
Alameda, Callfor.i "a. There was an acct
dent on The road, owing 10 the sinking of
a pert OF the track. The engine was
overturned, and the fireman, ID IN Driscon.
was csught by two iron bars, one OF
which crossed his breast and the other
one Of hi4 feet. H. was not severely in
jured by ills, hut the bars held him ink
,ricahly fast, aud meantime. on both sides
of the track, which at ihis point lies on a
low trsile b1dge built across long
sire ca Of marsh land, the salt tide pour
ing in from the Bay Of San Francisco was
rapidly rising | was evident that unless
speedily removed he would be drowned
Six men laboTed with desperate energy 10
save him. They wrapped sheets about
his body aud exerted their combined
strength 10 pull him from beneath the
bars that pinned him to the track. He
cried piteouslY that they were killing him.
They tried again and again, but wiihou'
aysil. a levce WIS built around his head
10 keer the water from reaching hin .
Buckets were brought, and rs the water
oCzed in ii wac bGiled out. Then they
raised his head and held it as high as pos
sibe above the water. For two hours
these ltbors were cesselessly continued,
but at the end of lnat time the levee
broke, and the friendp of the doomed man
found that they could do no more for him.
The water rose rapidly about els body and
reached his chin. Then ali caught hold
of him and tuggrd d,sp rally, but in
vain. frierd held his h, nd over the
unfortunate mans mouth, but the water
rose 10 his nostrils, aud he was drowned
in the presence Of the helpless crowd.
