IN penetrating the Cling and almost melting tho

the engine crossed the trcste and struck tho
dam the track began 10 slide and the seId
began 10 give way. The engineer, VI
l. T. Scott, realizing the danger, IN
creased tho speed Of the train, and while tue
cars were passing over the rotten MN :
tho sand was ,aliing on both sides of the trsck
and a total wreck seemed inevitable. But the
self yossession OF tho engineer In forcing the
