put on steam. He had gone but few
yards, when there was loud snap, and it
was discovered that the axle of the front
driving wheel had broken in two. A wreck

axle was removed, it was discovered that
it was hollow, and looked like a common
cast iron pipe. The hole was not noticeable
from the outside. The train delayed
about two hours. 1t was n lucky thing
that the train was not running at full speed
