Geological Party Walking

Passengers JOIted.
lBy Telcsr.ph 70 Tho Trlbnn, |

New Haven, Nov. 5.-Two Yale men
were struck by the Knickerbocker Ex-
press, of the New York. New Haven e.
Hartford Railroad, to-day just beyond
the East Haven station. and seventy
FIVE companions. members of a geologi
cal field party. escaped death by inches
as the flyer whizzed among them at the
rate of ffty-hve miles an hour.
The engineer Of the express ad-
mitted sfterward that when the party
loomed up before him as he rounded
sharp curve he put on the emergency
brlkes and then closed his eyes, ex-
pecting that at least a dozen OF the
young men were being ground TO
pieces under the wheels OF the heavy
locomotive.
Robert Theobald, of Toledo, was the
more seriously injured of the two vic
tins. Kirk Bryan. instructor of the
expedition, was the other. Theobald's
left forearm was broken and he had q
compound fracture Of the right leg.
Members Of the party commandeered
an automobile and broke all speed rec
ords in their run TO the Yale infrmary.
How Mr.. Bryan escaped death is con
sdered the mystery OF the accident.
As the flyer careened around the curve
he and Theobald were walking together
conversng earnestly over a feature OF
the expedition.
Gilbert Porter, a member OF the
party. was the first 20 discover the ap-
proach Of the express, and at his fran
tic shouts Of warning all hands jumped
quickly to the side Of the rails.
Bryan and his pupil, so engrossed in
their discussion that they did not in
terpret at the moment the true serious
ness Of their predicament, hesitated a
second before leaping The beam over
the cylinder head struck the instructor
and hurled him into a ditch beside the
track He s covered with bruises, but
escaped without a symptom OF frac-
ture.
The Yale students, all juniors, just
before the accident had stepped from
the south to the north track TO let
freight train go by. II was in the CON
fusion of getting back to the other
track that the fast train flashed into
view. Under high brake pressure the
express was brought 20 a stop within
d short distance.
So sudden was the application of the
brakes that passengers were jolted
smartly. In the baggage car trunks
were tossed about like straws, and the
baggagemaster was crushed under
miniature avalanche. He was almost
as badly bruised as Bryan after his eX-
perience with the locomotive.
