A WILD DASH IN AN ENGINE,
An Engineer's Tata but Heroic Attempt to
Save ainey laves.
It was in Scotland that this memorable
achievement took place. A drunken engi-
neer started his engine on the wrong track,
and exposed hundreds of people to a hor-
rible death. Another engimer, Campbell,
boarded a locomotive on the parallel track,
and oet cff in pursuit. Both throttles were
wide open, the fated rain flew to disaster
at the rate of. sixty miles an hour. The
pursuing engine follosved feat; behind.
Fifteen miles down the road it caught up
with the first one. Heedless men were
sitting in their carriages reading their paper
as the engine slowly stole peat them. Then
when the two locomotives were abreast,
Campbell leaped fromihis own to the other,
staggered, held On, reversed the machinery,
flung the drowsy drunkardto the track, and
then the express coming the other way
struck the engine, and nearly 300 lives were
sacrificed.
The drunken engineer was not killed.
Campbell was smashed to a jelly in the
performance of one of the most extraord-
inary feats in history C. EaToN
