crowd about the

scarcely noticed. There
was a man under the

man out, the forward

his mind was a blank.
1t was not the hope of
saving a human life

He scrambled to his feet. Some men were hurry

paid no heed
He dropped to his knees again. By putting his
head close to the ground he could look under the
sides of the car. Sewer-pipe and broken timber
in a confused tumble barred all chance of crawling
beneath it. Strange to say, the rear end was bat
tered and broken, while the front end was appar-
entity uninjured He went to the forward end,
and lying flat his stomach struck match. A
space of five or six feet he could see perfectly
clear. Beyond, huge piece of pipe lay across the
car blocking entrance exit from that way.

looking at a charred

feet long, and bracing it firmly against the platform

Then with the crowbar he pried a coil of steel

groove in his first brace and bent end of the
