we're in the forward part of the coach
preparing their toilets. Two other sleep.

following the accident women shrieked
and children screamed, while above ali

filled with dust, and il was with difficulty
| to determine which OF their number had
been most seriously injured. The moment
| the crash was heard the engineer stopped

| pany men were on hand to carry out the
| injured. 1t was found that eight passen.
