WHAT TO DO IN A WRECK
Veteran Railroad Traveller Gives Some
Advice That Is Well Worth Keep
xs Ing In Mind

When the tumult began a passenger
stood up and shouted at the top of his
voice: What in h-'s the matter?" re-
peatfng the unanswered query sew
eral times. l knew what was the
matter but had no leisure to explain
and just dropped upon the floor and
grasped the frame of my seat and held
on, taking the jolts as ngidly as pos
sible. Hat racks, hand baggage, seat
cushions, splintered head lining and
miscellaneous articles began to fly
about, and l found the seat frame af-
forded comfortable protection from
the missiles that damaged some ex-
posed limbs
The tumult could not have lasted
half minute, but 1t seemed a long
time till the end came by the car
turning over with terrific jolt. At
that instant the man who had shouted
SO vociferously: whats the matter?"
was shot through the window like
huge torpedo. Most Of the people
who had been on the upper side came
down in heaps when the car turned
over. l was on the lower side, and set
tied softly upon the head lining when
the car came to rest, says a writer in
Railway and Locomotive Engineering.
l had been in a similar accident
once before, and knew not only what
to do, but kept my attention upon
what the other passengers were doing.
Most Of them stood up or sat with
out holding fast to the seats, so that
they were thrown about by the plung-
ing and jolting of the car Then a
mass of human beings seemed to drop
from the higher to the lower level
when the car went over. Many Of
them were badly bruised through be-
ing pitched about, pains that might
have been avoided had they dropped
upon the floor and clung to the seat
frames.
1t is difficult instructing persons how
to do in case of the derailment of
train they are riding in, but sound ad-
vice is to drop upon the floor, prefer
ably in the aisle, or cling to the seat
frames. The impulse to stand up and
howl should be restrained.

ity Of the crossing. The wind may
be blowing IN al opposite direction to
that from whence the alarm proceeds
or the prospective victim may be so
deeply absorbed with his own
thoughts that the warning goes un-
needed, and his life pays the forfeit
At unguarded crossings the driver
of team will hear the alarm, but,
believing he has time to cross, whip
up his horse, only to find that he has
made fatal calculation. The blame
for accidents of this kind Is always
levelled at the railroad, and there
usually follows demand for the elm
ination of the death trap.
When train is approaching sta
ton or a junction with another road
both may be operated by the same
company, one long whistle is blown,
the duration being about four seconds.
This is supposed to give sufficient
warning to employees to look after
their safety and also to the thought
less passenger or trespasser to give
the oncoming locomotive a wide
berth.
Eight short blasts from the locomo-
tive, with only half second between,
is warning to the crew that there is
danger ahead. 1t may be that a red
fuzee is seen burning p.the track or
that some one has signaled to the en-
gineer to come to a stop He may
have seen the tail lights of a stalled
freight or a bowlder lying across the
rails, the result of a landslide.
The signal that makes every rail
road man within hearing distance sit
up and take notice is one long blast
followed by three short ones. This is
the fire alarm, and every loyal rail-
roader who hears it will make haste
to reach the scene of trouble and lend
his aid in the work of saving life and
property. 1t is frequently the case
that the engineer Of trains will dis
cover an incipient blaze along the
tracks or in freight yard and he i'm
mediately gives the whistle alarm.
There is a number of other steam
signals, but as they are of interest
only to the men employed by the rail-
roads reference to them is omitted.
There is a whistle signal, however,
that is given from the tower located
in the center of station yard, which
brings everything to dead standstill
within this area of complicated
trackage. Something has gone wrong
with the pneumatic mechanism that
works the signals and the switches,
or the wheels of coach or loco
motive have slipped from the iron,
which necessitates the calling of
halt until an investigation can be
made.
This whistle is sounded about once
a month, and when it Is heard there
is a general feeling of apprehension
among all the employees that some
direful has happened.

I'm few days the English admiral,
finding his ships could not lay in the
harbor in safety, and after ten days
bombarding our fort without doing us
any damage, sent word to General
Washington that If he would promise
not to fire upon his ships, the troops
would evacuate Boston and the ships
leave the harbor, but without that
promise he should burn the town to
ashes. Washington gave his word
that they should pass unmolested, and
on the 18th saw them set sail We
most gladly marched into Boston, and
found the people rejoiced to be re-
leased, and no wonder, for they had
been shut in for 16 months-suffer-
ing, hunger and other privations.
Some had their stores rif1ed to feed
and clothe the British soldiers-but
all was for the time forgotten in re-
joicing at seeing their oppressors
gone from them.
After serving my time out, which
was three months, I returned home,
strongly in love Of my country's cause,
SO much SO that I soon enlisted again
for nine months in a company from
Eastman, under Capt. Isaiah Higgins,
and again went to Boston, and was
employed some time building fortifi-
cations in Boston harbor. l then en-
listed in another company, under Cap
tain Hamilton of Chatham, and
marched to Rhode Island, where l was
employed with others in building for
tifcations, and drilling with the army
stationed there till the time expired
for which enlisted (six months).
"The ship Defence, of 18 guns, want
ing crew, myself and some others
from the cape and from Boston, en-
gagged to make up the complement OF
men. Soon all was ready, and the
ship put to sea under command of
Captain Samuel Smedley, to cruise
for prize, hoping soon to meet with
an English vessel. On the third day
out quartermaster broke out with
smallpox, when it was decided by the
officers that all the crew should be
vaccinated-this made sickness
enough, and we feared the result
should we meet an enemy. But in a
few days sail was seen, which
proved to be large English letter-of-
marque, and our captain determined
to engage her, although 80 of our crew
were sick of smallpox, and number

could sit up and walk some, so l took
a gun and sat upon the hencoop till
the action commenced, when l forgot
my sickness, sprang to my feet and
loaded and fired my piece as fast as
possible-and as the powder monkey
brought up the cartridges to distribute
them among us, l took handful and
threw them into the bosom of my
shirt, which hung bagging down
enough to receive them, and so con-
t1nued to fire away, not thinking l was

battle went on; l now had only pair
of canvas trousers and a tow shirt,
and fired till my gun was very hot,
and then changed it for another.
The engagement lasted three glasses
(three half hours), when she struck
her colors to us. When we boarded
her we found she was from Liverpool
bound to Jamaica, and had on board
a governor for that island and other
