the men who stood helpless at the
mouth of the shaft. Then the bucket

Some things can explain. l learned
afterward the cause of the accident
that took the lives of my comrades. and
l found that it was by another accident
that my life was preserved.
At that time-twenty years ago-we
had only single engine, geared to

1t was not n reversible engine. 1t had
a large fywheel to carry the crank
over the centre, and was, in general,
like most of the old-fas shioncd hoisting
machinery used in shaft sinking.
They told me that hardly had the
engineer started the engine on this oc.
casion when lie discovered that lie

way. The engine gained speed with
each revolution, and could neither be
stopped nor checked.
Rushing out of the engine room, he
gathered the men at the top of the
shaft. They saw the bucket shoot up,
saw John and Evan fall back, and saw
me catch the sheave- wheel and hang
suspended over the centre of the shaft.

Most wonderful Of all was the part

my safety. Tie wheel hung closely be-

But when the bucket struck, the rope

Had the wheel continued to revolve,

The dedication of the Memorial
Tower at Indian Rock, Ethan Allen
Park, Burlington, on Wednesday was
a notable OCCASION first for the intrinsic
interest of the event and second for
the large number of distinguished public
men whom it brought to Burlington.
The programme was a most attractive
one and it was well carried out.
The military parade was formed in
the following order: Vermont Ma
tional Guard band, twelve companies
of the guard, the 23d and 9th bat
teries, field artillery, and the 18th cav
airy band and regiment. The column
was headed by the chief marshal, Col.

Col F. E. Burgess, aides Colonels NJ.
NJ. Parker, Edward Hatch, Major G. l..
Woodbury., Capt Claudius Poulailon
and Second Lieut.. Wiley p. Mangum,
Jr., 18th Cavalry. Then came car
riages conveying distinguished guests,
speakers of the day, members of mil
itary societies, etc.
After music by the band, the formal
presentation of the land was made by
the donor, William j. Van Patten. Mr..
Van Patterns remarks were brief and
modest. The presentation of the tower
was then made by Ex-Governor Urban
A. Woodbury.. Miss Mary Roberts of
Burlington, Regent, Society of Daugh-
ters of the Revolution, made the pre-
sentation of flags in brief speech. DR..
