night We left the east portal and a
few hours later the clubhouse was
swept away by an avalanche when

we pulled through the tunnel TO
Wellington. about q mile and a half

At Wellington there are three tracks.
ON one side nearest the mountain
stood Supt Jack ONeai's private car,
two box cars. an engine and three
electric motors used to haul the train
through the tunnel On these cars
were the superintendent, the train
crews and porters. on the second
track from the mountain was my train.
on the third track was the fast mail
on which were sixteen or eighteen
clerks and sixteen laborers who slept
there.
Sunday we noticed that a mass OF
snow was hanging from the mountain
