of people were in the depot at this time,
but when they heard the noise they all
made grand rush for the street. The
men in the news stands and the ticket
sellers did not even stop to open ana
close the doors to their booths but
jumped over the counters, and made for
the doors, and in the twink]ing of an
eye I found myself alone in the place. e
