The two men were separâ€" ated by a partition, and he did not see the quick leap of Bliss, nor was there time or even a warning shout. Howâ€" ever, Mr. Anderson being in the act of manipulating the controls when he noticed the unwonted tremor as one wheel after another left the rails and ground into the ties, at once slammed on his emergency brakes, applied the sand, and was reversing when the enâ€" gine turned as it moved forward anda dumped him on top of a cluster of pipes on the ‘boiler.

There was nevertheless quite a bit of steam in the cab after the engins came to rest on its side, astride a fourâ€"foost embankâ€" ment.
