Speed Was Forty Miles.

The locomotive is of the camel
back" type, also called Mother Hub
bard" The engineers cab is in the
middle; the fireman is 20 feet away at
the rear of the boiler, between it and
the tank.
AS the train left the meadows and
slid onto the mile-long drawbridge
trestle that crosses Newark bay the
fireman glanced from under his pro-
tecting hood and noticed that the light
on the semaphore they were passing
was red, whereas, if there were no
train on the block ahead it would have
been green He turned to, the speed
indicator; it registered 40 miles an
hour. There was no way of commun-
eating with the engineer. Even If he
could be reached by crawling along the
locomotive, it would take too much
time. The fireman grabbed at the
emergency brake lever and yanked it,.
Everything might be all right, but he
was taking no chances.
