The water tank whlch stood at thls plaoe was struck and oeetroyed by the engrlne, and it was imposible to extltiLuish or mitígate the conflaeration. Two of the sleeping cars in the rear were uncoupled and drawn out of reach of the are. Gallant efforts were made by all present to rescue the riolöms and alleviate thelr pains.
