Whitehead, too unstrung to talk con- nectedly last night, tonight was back at his job. outwardly ‘calm.

It was so close I could see the spaces between the fen- der bars. Joe jumped for the door and I jumped after him. “We heard a terrifie grinding smash. There was a hiss of steam, a brilliant, red glare lighted up the tower and our little building shook all over. The crash- ing of glass—the tower windows break- Ing—tiggled in my ears and the tower continued to rock. “We lay against the door for a mo- ment and then cwllapsed to the floor.

Otherwise I ‘wouldn’t be telling you this.” Whitehead explained that the signal system was interlocking so both tracks could mot have been open at the same t.me Closing the {racks Yo the Mich- igan Central automatically opened it to the New York Central, and vice versa, he said. Whitehead said the Michigan Central was making sixty miles an hour but {hat the New York Céntral was traveling slower—probably_forty miles an hour. “They always travel at mnearly full speed, but last night the New York Cen- tral seemed to be coming slower thra usual.
