'l’he impart had but little elleet u'p- ‘ on the heavy coaches composing: the lletroit train. 'l‘WU passengers were more or less slightly injured. The only car on the train damaged at. all was the (liner, this car having its furniture strewn over the floor and its rear platform broken oil. The passengers state that they felt 'but very little shock from the collis- ion, it appearing tothem as if there had been a sudden applieation of the emergency brake. In fact, most of them did not realize that there had been a wreck at all, until they saw the procession of stretchers eon- taining the dead and wounded to the temporary hospital. The scene at the wrecked coach was a pathetic one in many res- pects. The soldiers in varied uni- forms, the Highlanders being very prominent, worked with might and main to lift the wreckage from off their stricken comrades. Station lamps, candles, and torches were ra- pidly brought into service to throw light upon the ghastly scene. Uliicers were everywhere instructing and en- couraging the men. The injurudas mm“ as they were taken lmm the wrecked car were placed on str'etciwi's and rushed to the waiting room of the station. Appeals for aid were rapidly [lashed over the tele- graph and telephone wires, which ap- peals apparently did not meet with ready responses, as nearly three hours elapsed before extra malical aid arriVed over the railway. Scmries were posted at every door of the station, and no one was al- lowed inside the rooms except the doctors and ordcrlies, who rushed in and out with oandagcs and water. The. scene was indeed an impres- sive one. Highlanders pressed eug- crly around the station enquiring af- ter theiricomrades, one big fellow, a churn of Murdoch's being inconsol- able in his grief at the loss of his friend.
