The Manchester express, due to leave
Kings Cross at 2 p. m. was standing
by its accustomed platform waiting for
the signal to start. My last observa-

I was doing this part of my duty as

down under the carriage to put IT right.

was going to do this. While at work
I became conscious of a little Jerk and
of the train moving forward slightly.
