or else prevented them from sustain
ing serious injuries. While painting
the interior Of the smoke stack which
has recently been completed at that
place, the hosting platform was al
lowed to fall owing to the snatch
block cable loosening and before the
slack could be taken up, it had fallen
distance of sc feet. The painters
were at the top of this structure, a
distance of 152 feet above the earth
and had fallen more than half way to
the ground when the engineer, noti-
cling thsis nssil tightened the clutch
and stopped them IN mid-air. They
were then let to the ground by easy
descent.
The accident is explained from the
fact that the snatch block became
loose this in turn lessening the ten

spool of cable to run out. Noticing
the speed with which it did so, En-
gineer Hundleby acted promptly and
checked the downward course Of the
