Exeter Advocate, 1908-12-10, Page 3FATAL WRECK AT PEMBROKE
Engineer Rowe, of Ottawa, Killed in Head-
on Collision on C. P. R.
A despatch from Pembroke, says:
Another fatal wreck took place one
and a half miles oast of here on
Thursday morning. A light engine
from Smith's Falls collided with the
C.l'.11. local leaving here at 7.50,
and as a result Fred Rowe, of Ot-
tawa, engineer in charge of the
local, was instantly killed, and It.
Crawford, Ottawa, fireman ; Maul
Clerk Purcell, Engineer Nagle,
Smith's Fulls, and W. C. Both,
baggage.man, suffered slight injur-
ies. The baggage car of the pas-
senger train was badly damaged,
but none of the passengers wero
hurt. Both train and engine wore
travolling at high speed and met
on a curve. Both engines were
badly wrecked. The engines wore
almost on each other before the
danger was noticed. Engineer
Rowe reversed immediately, an 1 in
doing so warned Fireman Crawford,
who jumped, and escaped with a
sprained aside and minor hruis.:s.
Rowe w us pinned between the en-
gine and tender. Death was in-
stantaneous. His head and shoul-
ders wore above the wreckage, but
wore scorched. lits lower litnbs
were also burned and scald-
ed. Fireman Patton, of the light
engine, was going to jump when he
was hurled out of the window and
down the bank, sustaining a num-
her of bruises. Engineer Nagle got
caught at the tender by tho coal,
which was piled on him. Ho wan
quickly released by the teen pas-
sengers and was ablo to walk to
the station, as he had only a num-
ber of bruises and his leg scalded.
The light engine should have
stopped at (;ranges Station, about
ten miles east of here. instead an
effort was made to reach Yembroke
and the fatal collision was the re-
sult. Tho engineer's watch had
stopped, which misled him as to the
time ho had to make Pembroke.
