His wife, who was formerly
Gertrude John, has been with
him since his transfer to Great
Lakes, and will return there
with him.
The injured officers story
brings home the grim realities
Of war. He has had seven blood
transfuSions. Praising the WORK
of the Red Cross i'm their blood
bank drives, he said that il was
probably the availability and
use Of blood plasma that has
saved his life.
For months Lieut.. Fuller was
unable to move enough to feed
himself. II was a long time be-
fore he was able even to de-
velop interest in the extent Of
his injuries, and when he first
began to feel at all he saw
his badly burned arms and legs
and wanted a mirror TO see his
face.
II had so much beard when |
looked in that mirror, that l
didn't know whether my face

For a long time the doctors

Blood plasma was flown from
Rochester, Buffalo and OsWego
10 Dansville and then taken by
car to Wayland.
The accident occurred about
545 pm. (EWT). James f. Lee
roy Of Buffalo, engineer of the
limited, said the train was
speeding through Wayland when
he saw a switch engine on the
siding paralleling the main line
Westbound track.
ENGINEER CONFUSED
The engineer of the local
freight locomotive, apparently
W. confused and thought the
limited had gone through and
started to pull out on the main
line TO continue switching he
added. When | saw the other
engine pulling out / slammed on
the limited's er Urgency brakes,
but it was going too fast 10 avert
a collision.
The two locomotives met at
the switch"
The limited, a l3-car train,
sheared off the front end Of the
switch engine and cracked the
driving cylinder. The switch en-
sine remained upright on the
spur track.
The locomotive of the limited,
hurtled down the track and top
pied broadside across two main
line tracks and two spurs.
Three coaches, the diner, a bag
gage car and mail car were de-
rallied.
Engineer Leroy and the linn
ited's fireman. Theodore Pala-
dino, Of Buffalo. suffered shock
and bruises.
A group of rs New York city
area students, enroute to St.
r1ary's Seminary, Northeast, Pa,
escaped injury.
B. j. Shields OF Buffalo, coaf
freight engineer for the D. l.. e.
w, described the scene in the
coach as a "seething furnace"
Some Of the persons we're in
such pain they begged to die"
he added.
Several soldiers on the train
helped to rescue the passengers
and broke windows TO permit the
steam 10 escape.

weeks received periodic reports
on his condition.
While he was in the Naval
hospital at Dutch Harbor Lieut..
Fuller improved enough to read
magazines that were put on an
improvised reading stand across
his bed. Books were too heavy
for him TO handle, so he read
current magazines and news
papers brought in 10 him.
The doctor told me ! had
lost so much weight that | was
down to 100 pounds" Fuller
says. He says he felt a little
skeptical about that because he
thought his bones alone would
weigh that much. He said, how
ever, that he lost a b o so
pounds after the accident.
On May l., Lieut.. Fuller was
able 10 take a few steps - and
he could sit up for a longer pc
Rod of time. He says today that
he suffered the most pain dur
ing the treatments for the burns
and soreness from the pressure
of being unable to move for long
periods of time.
Lieut.. Fuller, in spite of all
he has endured, is anxious TO
get back in action, but he says
how soon that will be depends
upon the results of the opera
tons through which new skin
is being grated.
His duties as ar engineer are
with the Seabees, constructing
barracks, mess halls, etc, at
Naval bases. Il just can't say
enough in praise of the work
being done by these construc-
ton battalions-thcy're doing a
wonderful job" Fuller declares.
