er and when the train stopped at Peeks-
kill we walked over the top or II, towards
the locomotive. / remember going
through two tunnels. Then, j was struck

was ahead OF me- was struck by the tun-
mel arch and thrown back against me so
hard that he almost knocked me on.
''He was unconscious and HIS head was
terribly cut. / laid him down on the top
OF the car and held his head on my arm.
After a while he became conscious and
tried TO get on his feet. and / had to hold
him down with all my strength"
