The Rocky Mount fire department
arrived a short time after the fire
broke out and kept the rest OF the
train from burning. Several other
cars were threatened. and in spite OF
the work Of the fire-hghters at times
IL was feared that the fire would de-
stroy the adjoining coaches.
Doctors were on the scene almost
Immediately. The train crew had
taken out one man who had been

Oxygen tanks were sent for and he

nothing could be done. The man was
dead. He had occupied berth very

The railway officers i'm charge OF
that division of the road put our party

except for the tritiing loss OF our
clothes we were not really incOnven-

the loss of some of his belongings.
When aroused from his sound sleep
the car was only partially afire, but
the flames were making such head
way that he did not tarry TO put on
any superfiuous clothing.
Some of the train crew went
through the coach and raised an
alarm. There was much hubbub on
the outside, but the passengers in the
coach showed no signs of panic. They
simply hustled TO get out of danger
and stood not on the order OF their
going, but went.
According to Mr.. Fleet, the unfor-
tunate passenger who persisted, was
Ismothered, as his corpse, when Ill

sound asleep at the time of great
