crack like a shp's rigging in a tempest, and there was every
probability that if an attempt was made to cross ‘jus then he and
loc and cars would be blown from dizzy hights to bed of stream
blow. Train was checked in a sheltered place on terra firma to
wait for a lull. Presently fury abated partially and fearing
that it might regain force Craig determined to lose no time in
getting to the other side. He pushed ahead along the approach
and was in the act of opening the throttle wide and getting over
in least time when hedisocrfed that some supports af the
telegraph line had been torn from fastenings near center and lay
with a section of wire across the track. Train checked befc~e
reached them and fireman clambering out hung to to pilot with one
hand to keep from being blwon away and with other cleared the
rai. Craig says the brief experience was about the riskiest and
most thrilling he has had on local rr.
