Survivors Tell
Of Experiences in
Wreck Near Calais

Calais, Me, Jan. 30.-(AP)-The be-
lief that he bears a charmed life was
expressed today by William j. Cor
man. one of the score injured late yes
terday in the derailment of two Maine
Central passenger cars at Marion, in
which William j. Gould. Clarence
Strout and a young child were killed.
German, a salesman for New York
firm of confectioners and a resident of
East Boston. Mass, was resting COM
fortably in Calais Hospital where the
injured We're taken in special trains,
although his right forearm and right
leg We're broken.
He said he was seated in the rear
coach, which had % passengers, in
Guiding those killed and most q the
injured, directly behind Strout and in
front of Gould. He felt the car rock,
arose and grabbed hold of the backs of
the car seats. Suddenly all three were
hurled through the window.
German landed on his head in a snow
bank. clear of the car, crawled up the
bank and painfully made his way to the
Pullman car where, game to the core,
he said to the volunteer rescuers
Never mind me. Take care of the
more seriously injured"
Strout was killed with a fractured
skull, while Gould's skull was frac-
tured and his body broken. Strout
was pin ed beneath the smoker which
went over onto it's side, while the
coach turned over twice in rolling
down the 25-foot embankment His
body was not extricated until after
midnight.
United States immigration Commits
sioner Henry Durant of this city was
injured about the back and body. but
did heroic work in atdlng the injured,
it was said by the passengers, who
greatly admired his pluck. He is a
hospital patient, but resting comfort

ly injured had narrowed to three to-
day. These were:

ductor Martin Fallon, who was badly
bruised and shaken: Brakeman Edward
Fl. Bleakley, who it was feared had a
fractured skull. an injured back and
internal injuries.
Weather conditions were described
by the passengers as terrible when

cold atmosphere, five below zero. 1t
proved fortunate that the Pullman car
remained upright. The injured and
other passengers were taken into this
car and given attention until the re-
lief trains arrived. There were 10
passengers in the smoker and four in
the Pullman car in addition to the 23
in the coach.

Stick to him, he is your friend.
