con the wreck which occurred on the
Chesapeake and Ohio near Lynchburg
In 1900.
I'll tell you boys twas sad, sad thing.
| that happened on that night:
Give me a match, I'll light my pipe. and
try to tell 1t right:
Twas during the Christmas holidays. In
nineteen hundred and one;
The boys had all been home. you know. to
have their rest and fun:
There was Captain Fisher. the engineer
(of course you know him weld:
No better ever held throttle. nor pulled
an engine bell;
He was the oldest, man on the &c. & O., "
noble. brave. and true,
And when you wanted train pulled right,
he knew just what to do.
And there was Captain Whitaker, 80
handsome and so fair;
Always kind and pleasant to the passen-
gers in his care.
His modest ways. his kindly smiles. would
help you on your way;
He was ever prompt and careful his or
ders to obey
Yes, that's a fact Young Thompson. thu
baggage-man, you know,
Another faithful servant Of the grand old
c. & o.
When that faithful crew pulled out that
morn. so cheerful and so gay.
They little thought their lives would end
with the ending OF the dag.
The James was mighty high that night,
the rain in torrents fell.
And No. z was creeping slow. to changing
Of her bell
They were looking close for trouble then.
the night was inky black,
And Captain George" as usual had eyes
upon the track,
When all at once they turned 4 curve
and in slide they went.
SCThere wasn't then much damage done.

They tried their best. but tried in vain,
TO back the engine out.
Then one by one they backed the ca3S-
their safety was in doubt,
For right above. the crumbling clih. 20
black and treacherous stood.
From under It they tried to movs as
quickly as they could
When all was safe except one ear. there
came rumblins sound.
Just like an awful avalanche. that shook
the very ground.
Right down that cliff. the rock and earth,
came with mighty crash.
And blotted out those three brave lives
Then all was yelled In darkness the rain
In torrents pour'd:
And still the angry waters Of the rising
river roar'd.
They found Old Captain Fisher right By
his engines side,
Like many another hero, right at his
post he died.
Poor Thompson's body. crushed beneath
those tons OF earth and stone;
His brave, young life was given up with
out a single groan
Poor Whitaker was never found: into
the food he fell.
HIS spirit found IFS home with God, who
doeth all things well.
Now that is how it happened. boys, on
that. eventfu1 nigh It.
I've told It In a simple way. but think
I've told~it right
Whenever they saw their duty. boys they
81 did 1t there and then.
And God, 1sknoW, has got. Z place for men
who die like men.
