|Mr, Douglas B. Stewart, son of Mr,

I. R. CARLING IN TRAIN WRECK
Mr. Carling with sisters return from
trip to California,
Mr. I. R. Carling and two sisters,
Misses Elizabeth and Mary Carling,
were among the passengers on the
1 Winnipeg train which was wrecked
, in a head-on collision at Drocourt
ea^’Iy Wednesday morning of last
week, Mr,, Carling- and his1 sisters
. were returning from an extended
trip to California. They had board
ed the train at Winnipeg and after
spending the evening in the observa
tion coach bad retired to their
births. At half past three in the
morning they were suddenly awaken
ed by the application of the emer
gency brakes followed immediately
by the impact of the crash. Mr.
Curling’s heavy club bag was rest
ing on. a bracket above his head
’ This was shot through his berth and
several yards down the aisle. Word
was passed through the coach that
a 'slight accident had occurred and
the passengers advised to keep their
berths. Immediately after a call
came for a doctor. Mr. Carling
arose and went through tlie train
an d only when he came to the
Wrecked cars did he realize some
thing of the damage that had been
done. A car-load of fish that had
been attached to their train just,
back of the engine seemed to a'ct as
a buffer to offset the impact.
The tracks were strewn with
twisted steel and wrecked cars. Two
of the most powerful engines known
to railroading • had come together
and were turned‘over on their sides.
The first car on the train on
which the Carlings were riding was
thrown from the tracks and another car-'jammed up on the tender. On
the Other train the baggage car tele
scoped a colonist car by a little over
half way and it was in the colonist
car that most of the lives were lost.
The car took fire and from 18 to 20
limp, women and children were
burned beyond recognition. Sever
al members of the’ crew also lost
their lives. Heroic efforts were
made in the rescue work.
Mr. Carling and1 sisters were re
turning from what had otherwise
been a most enjoyable trip. They
had spent several weeks in Californ
ia and during their stay there the
weather- had been ideal. .On their1
way to California they took in the wonderful sights of the Grand Can
yon/, /They spent three weeks in
.Los ..Angeles-- pud. while,-there visited,
Hollywood, Catalina Islarid, Mexico
and other points. At Los Angeles
they met Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Taylor
and visited at the home of Mr. Tay
lor’s son, Mr. Gordon Taylor. They
also met Mrs. Drew, Mrs. Knight
'and the latter's son Drew, former
residents of Exeter. Mr. Carling
and sisters came home by th^Pacif-
ic coast visiting Yosemite, San Fran
cisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Portland,
Tacoma and1 Seattle, Wash., a.nd at
various. places met with former' old
acquaintances. At Tacoma they
met Mr. S. R. Balkwill-' and at Se
attle Mr. Fred Treble. -The party
•also visited at Victoria and took the
boat from there to Vancouver. At
Vancouver they met Mr. John Elliott 'Mr. .Harry Jagoe and Dr. Geo. Sel
don. Fr.om ,.Vancouver they’ took a
boat to Prince Rupert and from
there started home across the Rock
ies. At Winnipeg they met Mr. F.
Taylor. It was on their way' from
Winnipeg that the train wreck oc
curred. .With the exception of this
latter incident the ladies state that
they never enjoyed themselves better
in their lives. They kept fine
throughout the whole of the trip.
