feet.
Here he lay unconscious for nearly
twelve hours. When he recovered he dis

The pain was intense. Hour after hour
passed away without any one passing his
way. and when darkness again set In on

the morrow would bring him help. Tho
rain that fell on Sunday night added to
his trying ordeal.
Dawn broke, hut still there was no

condition, he was unable to eat the little
dry food he possessed. During the pro-
slonged vigil on Tuesday and Wednesday
Hurley observed some pedestrians on the

The advantage however, in meeting

The steward should be hired by the
