Belated Arrival Saved Many.
The late hour Of the New York's ar
rival at Plymouth saved many lives.
She carried more than sixty travel
ers for London, but many of them
elected to travel on comfortably to
Southampton in preference to the late
landing at Plymouth and the long
night ride across the country. If the
New York had made faster passage
The somber roster of the dead and in
jured would have been longer. The big
American line steamer reached Ply
mouth at 9:35 o'clock Saturday night,
and half an hour later there was a
tender alongside to receive passengers
COR England. Several who had planned
to debark and packed their baggage
decided at the last moment to remain
on board.
The train consisted of a powerful
express engine, three first, class cor
ridor carriages and one combination
guards a and buffet. The passen-
gers were soon entrained and the e1-
press pulled out. It was given O. clear
track on the run of 23O miles to Lon
don. on which the express generally
maintained an average speed of a mile
! minute.
Driver Robbins quickly gave the en-
CINE her head and the special was soon
speeding swiftly through the night. 1t
ran on safely and without incident until
it entered the long railway yard at Sal
isbury, when the passengers noted that

to side. Suddenly at the end of the
long platform, when the track begins to
curve towards the bridge spanning
Fisherton street, the main avenue Of
the city, the engine seemed fairly to
leap from the track. 1t swung across
she adjoining track with terrific force
and destroyed the guards van of a
milk train that was slowly steaming in
Che opposite direction, killing a guard.
Plunged Against Bridge.
Lurching forward, the locomotive.
plunged against the s~tandards and the
Orders of the bridge. The bridge with
stood the impact and. rebounding, the
engine crashed into another engine
standing on a siding and overturned.
The wreckage Of the two engines inter
locked in a great broken mass of twist
ed steel and iron. Throughout the wild
plunging Of the engine Driver Robbins,

was found grilled over the nrebox.
The first coach shot over the engine
and careened onward until it was
hurled against the parapet Of thu
bridge and smashed into fragments,
killing or manning almost every occu-
pant. One MAJ was hot through the
window, cleared the parapet and fell to
his death to the street below.
The second coach lurohed forward
and rolled toWards a stationary train
and practically destroyed itself before
its wild fight was ended.
The third coach dashed forward
with the rest. left the rails and encoun-
tered some distractions, overturned
and collapsed.
Guard Saves His Car.
The guards van and buffet, the rear
most car Of the train, was saved by
tho courage and quickness of Guard
Richardson. With the first shock Rich
Rrdson jumped forward and set the
brakes N saved himself and his com
rades. The van plowed forward, in
Turing some OF it's occupants, but prac-
tically maintained it's equilibrium.
Relief came quickly, although it was
an hour before the last body a
dragged from the wreck.
The darkness and incredible destruc-
ton made the work of rescue exceed.
