they got us out at 3 o'clock in the morn

THE work was eXhausing and very
dangerous, not only on account of melt
ing snow, but on account of the powder
and high explosives that were handled
in a careless manner. The chief powder
man was Dago who blew himself up
one day. The powder lay scattered all
over the banks. One night we were
unloading coal from one end of car
and filling an engine. We were work

if it had not been understood that
we were wanted to help rescue bodies
from the wreck. The anxiety of the
officials seemed to be to get the line
clear and that was what we were set
to work doing. The rotaries were
throwing snow to the left of the track
