suffering from second-degree burns.
Ambulances, police and fire equip
ment from Maryland counties as
well as from Baltimore and Wash
ington rushed to the scene. A de-
tachment of military police from
Fort Meade, Md, was dispatched for
guard duty. More than 40 Marines
riding in forward coach on their
way to cambridge, Md, helped with
the rescue work.
Uninjured passengers were loaded
into the forward coaches and taken
to Baltimore.
In Short time, trains were being
routed in both directions over the
southbound track. The northbound
track was twisted for over 100 yards.
Shirley N. Mills, Interstate Com
merce Commission Director of Safe
ty, said two ICC inspectors went
to the scene of the wreck to begin
an investigation las soon as We
heard about it yesterday after
noon"
The inspectors assigned to the
case are H. R. Longhurst of Wash
ington and G. C. Finney of Balti-
more.
Mr.. Mills said they were making

cal girls and two cooks, who were
badly burned, out of the diner and
into ambulances.
Jesse Robinson, co. colored, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, a cook and veter-
an of % years on the railroad, was
burned seriously by scalding water
IN the kitchen of the overturned
diner. He was admitted to Leland
Memorial Hospital, Riverdale.
I'VE were thrown down with the
stoves, on the other side of the car
right above u.s. he said. The
coffee urn turned over and hot water
was pouring over us from every di-
rection. There were five of us
caught. We felt our way around to
the door out of the kitchen and
down to the end of the car, where
we crawled out. I saw the dead por-
ter lying there, outside"
Football Lesson Saves Girl.
James P. Nolan, jr., of East Mel
rose street, Chevy Chase. Md, who
has just finished his freshman year
at the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, told of noticing sort
of a bump" followed by three short
Jerks. He was in one of the for
ward cars.
II ran back to the wreck" he said.
THE first thing I saw was three
men helping a woman who was hurt.
Then I saw a man with coat over
his head lying back of the diner.
I guess he was the one that was
killed.
"A girl told me the only thing
that saved her from being knocked
out was the football lessons her
brothers had given her. She said
she threw her arm up and 1T took
the force of the jolt.
Mot far off some men were trying
to cut the clothes from a man who
had been scalded."
Covered With Dishes.
Mr.. Nolan commented it was lucky
the train was on the outside OF a
curve and the cars were thrown to
the right. Otherwise, he said, the
other train would have piled into
the wreckage. fA
Albert Tymes OF East Orange, N.
j., colored dining car porter, said

The accidents to the two pas

of construction crews who were put
ting the Laurel race track in shape
for the fall season. The men In
the earth-moving trucks drove i'm
mediately to the aid of the injured

summon police and firemen by
telephone.
James Cross, "a, of Laurel, was
unloading his flve-ton truck load OF
topsoil on the race track some 400
yards from the scene of the derail-
ment. He drove his truck to the
edge OF the 10-foot fence along the
railroad right-of-way
Looking through the steel fence"
Mr.. Cross said, II saw badly injured
lying beside the overturned cars
while passengers and trainmen able
to walk were carrying others from
the cars. They were crying out for
help and begging us to get ladder
or something to enable then to get
the wounded over the fence and
away from a roadbed, they seemed
to consider dangerous.
Backs Truck Through Fence.
II wheeled my truck around and
backed right through the fence, and
my buddies came behind me and
pinned sections of the fence down
with railroad ties lying by the right
of-way. ~
Some of our men drove to the
race track Office and got stretchers.
We went into the cars and began to
help carry the wounded outside.
Several obviously were terribly cut
and losing blood fast. One man had
compound fracture of the leg, and
what seemed to be internal injuries.
He kept stroking his beard in sort

First survivors brought ashore

They told of seeing frantic pas

vessel, some with children in their
