Andrew Bryson, a member OF the Ameri-
can Society Of Civil Engineers, examined
the scene Of the wreck to ascertain its
cause, II possible. As a result OF his inves-
tigation, he believes that the retain wall,
laid without cement, allowed the tides to
wash through and carry out some of the
earth forming part ofthe e~mbankment. A
cavity was thus formed and the jar of q
| passing train finally loosened the keystone
Of its arch, composed OF loose stones. The
trackthe gave way under the engine Of
