NAHRATnn-P. OF SUMY IVORS. Mr. Harris, who was in charge of tho postal van, noticed nothing unuaual until lie w,s ih'•own underneath a tabic. He had no id-i there was anything wronIn th'7IIH''X:' min one of tho wheels crashed through the body of the carriage 1 ciose to him, and thoi-d"sof f.'i? veil wero crushed in. Fortunately the table under which he had been thrown did not give way. a.id this was the mean* of preservio-r his life. Two of his comrade* in the van wero killed 0:1 the spot, and another died. Mrs. Maybeo. of Exmooth, was riding in a ear- ns go with her L'td-e giri o.nd a number of oiher ladies r..¡;om Hereto d and. Mid-Wales. They were all sitting together, talking about the apparent pencefulness of a number of foreign siilcrs in ao adjoining C01.npa:!t.rní\ !I t. when suddenly the '•••>;•- riage seemed to open, and the next minute e was involved in wreckage. She kept her pre- sence of mind, and found" that she was unplea- santly near the fire of the engine. Naturally her first care was for her little trirl. who was cry: Mother." Happily the child was comparatively uninjnred. and being reassured 0:1 that point Mrs. Mayoee set to work to do what she to help the passengers in a worse plight. Ma y involved in the debris were extricated, a-d agonising screams were heard i!1 every direction. Mrs. Maybee assisted five or six of tho inju'i-.l to the ladies' waiting-room, and in tho absence of doctorH and dressings she tore off her pdticc:1i; for bandages. The waiting-room presented a horrible sight as the dead and wounded were brought in, many of the latter suffering from ghastly wounds. Mr. Atherton. of Llandrindod Wells, a passen per by the wrecked express said: "I was -itdng in a carriage with my brother, a couple of ladies, and another fellow. We were chatting, and the ladies vanished. I found myself on the line, feeiing very sore about the head. I got up. and in the lig-ht from the engine fire I saw a man lying- under a great; ma, oi ircn. I pulled at him until I got him out. The man rose to h' feet, and seemed very much battered. tie threw his hands above his head and dropped dead. Thon one of the women who had born travelling in the train appeared and shouted: 'Jack, Jacl: Apparently the dead man was her sweetheart. Siie went off wailing, and I did not see her again. After carrying the body of the man to the platform I went back and gofc mixed up among a lot of gaspipes. The fumes overcame me and I fell unconscious on the line. I woke up to find myself in bed in the hospital."
