locomotive, In which service he continued
without interruption until August 1885.
When Ar. Raworlh began his long career as
locomotive engineer the science of raj road
ing was in Its infancy. The pioneer American
locomotive. The Best Friend, had exploded
its boiler through The ignorance of its coiored
fireman, who had fastened the lever of the
steam valve down to relieve himself of the
annoyance caused by escaping steam. and il
had just been rebuilt as the Phoenix"
II was in 1884 that Mr.. Raworth be
came the engineer Of this rebuilt loco
motive. True he did not find himself en-
barrassed by the dangers attendant on the
fast running OF later years, for the Phoenix
did not average a speed exceeding twelve
miles an hour, hut he had to contend with
many difficulties common 10 the experimental
period. During twenty eight years of Mr..
RawOrth S career he had but one fireman a
negro. When first employed, and for many
years afterward, this man was a slave, his
owner having engaged his services to the
railway company for an average considera-
ton of ST a day.
