 WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 4.-En- gineer William Best, of the original res- cuing passenger train on the Eastern Minnesota, tells the following story of the rescue at Hlnkley:
 Soon after leaving Superior, at 1:l5 D.. m., I had to light the headlight owing to the dense smoke which turned day into night. The heat as we approached Hinkley increased, but I expected when we reached that point we would get in an opening and escape tte smoke. My surprise was great when We found tue fire right upon the town. It took but 8 glance to see that the town was doom ed. The wind blew with great velocity and the flames fairly leaped through the air. The people were taken by surprise and were helpless. for the coming of the fire was like stroke of lightning.
 We could not pass Hinkley, and there was no use to look for orders for con- municstion was cut of. To stay and rescue as many as we could was our duty, but the great question, and upon it hung the lives of many hundreds, was how long dare We wait.
 Engine number 3 with freight was there. We knew We were safe making time for we could return on 23s time. We hastily coupled a portion of the freight train with the engine ahead on to the rear of our train.
 D People rushed toward our train and piled into the cars. Some aged and helpless, as we'll as women and children, had to be helped aboard. We had an unsafe position and the train had to be moved several times to prevent of ca tching fire.
 We were all breathing fire as it were and we saw sights that would filled us with horror if seen under any other circumstances, but there was horror everywhere. We saw people fall down, overcome by heat and smoke. I saw mothers with babes make last dispsir- ing effort to shelter their helpless charges. We saw people surroueded by fire, but there IS no use trying to des- cribe it to you.
 A few of our passengers became panic striken and wanted me to pull out regardless of the others at Hinkley, but of course none of us thought of doing such cowardly and selfish act.
 We got about 400 people from Hinkley aboard. may be more, and then slipped away to take others who Lad run up the track.
 We could not rescue any more people for they could not get to the train. A very large percentage of those who renamed perished.
 Away we went through blazing woods. It was race with death.
