The cause of the wreck, it is de-
clared. was a broken rail, which the
train struck while running down
grade at the rate of so miles an
hour.
1t was the heroism of Conductor
Reynolds that saved nearly all of
the passengers in the dining car He
was at dinner when the crash came.
Reynolds called to all the diners to
stand on their seats so their heads
remained above water close to the
roof of the car. He then dived out
of a broken window into the river
and reached an opening In the ice,
through which he Crawled to the
top Of the dining car.
Without tools he worked in the
hole in the roof of the car, through
which he dragged to safety all of
the diners except one.
For three hours one man chung
by his hands to the transom of the
coach, breathing what little air re-
manned at the roof of the car, while
his body remained submerged in
the water.
Robert Burroughs, manager of
the Bell TeleDhone Co. at Sauit Ste.
Marie. a passenger in the Pullman
car which did not go into the river,
said tonight:
PASSENGERS THRILLING
STORY.
when the Pullman went down
that embankment and turned over
| was thrown in corner, stunned
| and bruised and covered with de.
| bris. All around us | could hear
| the screams of women and chill
dren in the burning half of the sec
Ond class car. They were all con-
| sumed by flames.
Il found a woman on the floor
lying pinned under the seat. She
tried to rise, but could not, and
asked me to look for her husband
made her as comfortable as |
could and finally found her husband
dead When ! returned to tell her,
she was dead, too, her spine having
| been broken.
BOY FRlGHTFULLY INJURED
when We began removing the
| injured, little boy, wrapped in a
blanket, was handed up to me to
pass along the line of rescuers. AS
| took him the wind blew the blan.
ket aside and he was so horribly
crushed that it was hard to believe
he was human. | said, Are you all
right, little boy" and he answered
cheerfully, Yes. I'm feeling fine;
but my mother is down there in the
water
Il saw one man make his way
from the colonist car to the bridge
