knows. Before the crew of the freight
knew what was happening, eastbound
passenger No. 6, travelling at the rate
of thirty miles an hour, dashed
through the open switch, hurliDg the
big battleship freight engine back

machine some TWENTY-FIVE feet from
the track. The passenger engine,

track, but the steel mail coaches
which are said to have been the
means OF saving at least thirty lives,
were hurled from the track. one be-
ing thrown about thirty feet over an
embankment. while the other one was
turned on its side across the main
line.

badly Jared, kept the track.
