Foulke, who was pinioned in the cab of

flames spreading around him, and called to

right leg could not be extricated, and he
knew he must roast alive unless the cab
was cut away. The spectators fruitlessly

so rapidly no one could get near enough to
the cab to work with axes, and there was
no water at hand with which to subdue
the flames. He bravely met his death by
inches in the flames.
