the train. Rock drills were irnprovised
from the tools OF the train crew and
passengers and crew soon had chips
flying.
! Progress was slow. however. until
some one thought OF a section tool-box
a short distance up the line. Recourse
TO this resulted IN the acquisition OF a
rusty old slxe. with which the offending
rock was Justify attacked.
In short time enough had been cut
away to clear the steps and running
gear OF the train. The latter was eau
tiously edged up TO the spot under
the close examination Of the crew and

that a few additional strokes with the
trusty weapon were necessary.
They were given with viii. and
