The man was lying huddled aj halt f ozen on the Z#or of the shail embrasure, four hundred feet west of First Avenue, to whieh he had craw!- ed on his stomach, with a broken arm and ribs, for more than fifteen hours through the tunnel, He had fallen somewhere under Long Island City from a train which was bringing him to Manhattan and all through the night had fought his way along, yard | by yard, constantly menaced by pass- ral, |} ing trains and the deadly third until he discovered the workman's niche and sank Into it exhausted. With the greatest difficulty, owing to his injuries, the man was got to his feet by the switehman, who flagged an oncoming train, put him abonrd and sent him to the Pennsyl- vunia Station. There it was found that he was Clifford A. Bliss, twenty- one, of No. 86 Georgia Avenue, Brooklyn He was taken to the New York Hospital, where nis right arm and three ribs on the left side were found to be fractured and that ho had se- vere internal injuries.

His olght-houy duty ended at 4 o'clock afternoon, at 5.85 boarded the “dead-head"’ train bound for Manhattan, How he chanced to fall through a door while the train was thundering down into the tunnel, Bliss has no idea. When he regained consctous- ness he was bitterly cold and could scarcely moye. A train came thun- dering down on him and he flattened himself against the tunnel wall, then he started crawling westward. He thinks that several times during the all-night journey he lost cons- ciousness, but managed to fall in such a way that he escaped the trains. When the switchman found him, he said he had reached the niche only a little whfle before, CARPENTIER WANTS "TO MEET DEMPSEY? London Hears His Manager May Ask Another Fight Wrth the Champion.
