After getting the injured into the coaches, a. matter of two hours, the rescue work was turned to parting the train and shoving it away by man power out of re danger.

He believes many in it were killed outright, but he heard groans and cries for help. an. 2-__.._u_ _._L__ , Mr. Daugherty was in the first-class coach at the time_ of the crash, about 8.30 am. He had not gone to sleep, and did not notice any brakes being applied. He was knocked against the seat ahead and nally was precipitated to the oor, his feet in the aisle. The lights did not go out, but they were dim. The coach was full of people and while they were picking themselves up he made for outside. His rst thought was of the engines. He was rst out and could hear the roar of the steam. I could hear a man who later turn- ed out to be engineer Alexander, call- ing for help. He said his reman was on the other side (the crews of both engines apparently Jumped) and I * climbed through and found Smith who has since died. I and others held Alexander, Smith, White and 1 Savage. We made stretchers of blank- 1 ets and overcoats, and finally got mat- ' tresses. Every step we took we went :` knee deep in slush. Savage weighed over 200 pounds and he was moved with great difficulty. He was pinned under _some wreckage and we had great difficulty getting him out. Heat, smoke and gas greatly hampered the work, as did the darkness. It was 5.30 when the first doctors arrived. I worked until 10.05 am. when the rst train lef . Mr. Dougherty referred to William G. White, a former resident of Barrie and later of Orillia, who lost his life. He braked out of` Allandale 18 years ago and lived on Burton Avenue. He left the Grand Trunk service to join the Canadian Northern and has since come back in the service under amal- gamation. The late Mr. White was re- porting to the Capreol division for duty, after spending a few days with his family in Orillia, when he met his death. He was known to most every railroader on the division and he has scores of acquaintances here. The news of his death was a great shock to his wife and -family of six sons and two daughters and to other relatives in Orillia. Mr. White for a number of years was manager of the Orillia House and was well and favorably known to Orillians and the travelling public. Lips Are Sealed Mr. Dougherty says he, will be an important witness at the inquest and that his lips are, for that reason, more or less sealed. When asked if the wreck was not caused by an apparent disregard of orders-of one of the cardinal rules of railroading-he nod- ded his head affirmatively. It was suggested to the engineer that No. 3 overran orders a. quarter of a mile and that No. 4 was running late and making up time, also that Dro- court was not the regular meeting place, but Dougherty refused to dis- cuss that phase of the wreck. It will come out, he said. "I was through the war and I am more or less used to that sort of thing," he said. "The only incident which unnerved me at all was ``Bill ' White's death. I helped him as much as I could, but was forced to walk `away. He got on the train at Wash- ago and rode part of the way before retiring to the colonist car just ahead. I never sleep on trains.

In addition nine others were injured and several are still missing. Engineer Dougherty was riding deadhead reporting to the Capreol division for duty. He was first at the scene of the crash, and at the en-! tangled mass of what were once two oi. the finest and most powerful speci- mens of the C.N.R. locomotive eet. He helped to rescue four trainmen, two of whom have since died; he tried to enter the burning colonist car to get people out but was driven back, helpless; he helped extinguish the ames of the rst class coach which caught re from the colonist and he uncoupled the rest of the coaches of train No. 3 (west bound) nd organ- ized gangs to shove them clear of the threatening re.

'I'he story has to do with the great ' artist, Watteau, who, having won roy- `r al favor through a portrait of the lqueen, was commissioned to paint Ma- *|donnas in the Sistine chapel. Instead T of this, he painted his great Madonna on the sole of a dancing slipper for al ballet girl, Columbine, to whom he was devoted and refused" to give it to ~ the queen notwithstanding her offers, pleadings and threats, remaining true to Columbine though she had been working against him and for his pup- il, Lancret, whom she loved. The part of Watteau was well portrayed by Miss AReta McKever, whose voice and man- `ner were excellent. Miss Helen Luck had a difficult role in the selfish lit- | tle dancing girl and she played it clev- } erly. Miss Vera Charles showed a nice apreciation of the part of Lancret. pupil of Watteau. and her delineation l was good. The most nished work in! !the cast was that of Mrs. Stavert. who I lgave a fine representation of the Queen ' with her varying moods. Mrs. H. J. Heath as Courtin. Miss Sadie Bremner and Faustine; Miss Ailsa Grey as Pier- ette, Mrs. Pearl Parr as lady in wait- ing and Miss Tillie Marks as a page had minor parts but did them well. i i I I I The costume group of the Guild! were responsible for the attractive `costumes, except that of Mrs. Stavert who wore her great-great-grandmo- I lther s wedding gown.
