ers on their knees prayed for deliver
ance from the flame.
The members of the train crew went
through the coaches, giving the people
all the encouragement they could, and
imploring TIM to keep cool.
At the throttle of the locomotive
stood one Of the bravest men who
ever drove an engine, and his mad race
for the lives Of his passengers will be
recalled long after James Root has
passed away. Fire came in at every
window Of his cab, and three times
his clothes caught fire Had he aban-
doned the throttle he would have
sacrificed his own and 200 other lives.
With wonderful coura ge and sticism he
remained at his post, and directed the
fireman to throw water on him from
the tank in the tender, ana in this way
he was enabled to resist the approa clles
of the demon, and eventually save the
lives of his passengers. it was enc Of
the bravest and nerviest deeds On rec
ord, and ROOT is ahero to-day.
AS the train was passing through the
fire eight Or ten men jumped out of
the car windows and persisted. The
train finally reached Skunk lake, and
the passengers took refuge in the
water, which was but two or three
feet deep. One or two persons died
of freight and two or three more
sutfocated, but the others were saved
after being in the swamp seven hours.
