wrecked engine and started to pull II from
the wreck. The first movement OF the
shattered wreck brought from the wounded
such awful cries oi distress that the sur
rounding friends ordered the engineer TO

in wonder and surprise that their train
did not slacken its speed. Suddenly their
engineer and fireman were seen TO jump,
then came the shock. TheengineGr, Harry
Cook, and the fireman, Hugh Gallagher,
sustained slight injuries The fireman
subsequently stated that he saw the red
light, informed the engineer and then
jumped. The passengers gave many dii-
