Tho passengers were seen leaving their seats and crowding to ward the doors. Before any of them could get out, however, the .two couches went into thu water and bl atantly ?ank from night. " The coaches went over at one end of tho drawbridge. There was no protecting guard rail here, li'nd tho 'flvst coach shot clean out fifom the bridge and struck the water with Its whpels spinning. Tho second coach was almost perpendicular for a few seconds, when the rear end slipped from the bridge/the car sink ing flat in the mud like the first. The coupling of the third car was broken, and It turned almost at right angles to the bridge before if fell. It was the decreasing weight, as tho pas>:on gtfrs fought their way through the rear'door, that finally sent the coach info the water. A great beam pierced the lloor and held tho coach on its point. That all in tho third coach did not die was duo to jjie heroism and forcslg&6 of William Wood, a brakeinan. After the train jumped the tracks and while it was running along tho trestle floor he rushed to the rear of the last car and opened llui, door. Ho be lieved that the frj/inNwould go into the water JH?t"iTe openod\the. only easy avomfe of escape. Had) he wait ed the door could not have been opened, ay It-was strained by the tear ing of the'beam. Wood stood guard at Sl|e door un til tho coach Anally fell. He'assisted twenty persons to escape through the door, and as he worked he kept call Ins tor cveryono to remain cool, as tho least excitement or panic .might result in greater loss of life. Wood was rescued when being carried away by the tide. He was unconscious when picked up, but was resuscitated by a physician. Harry Reenter, a young man living in Philadelphia, was instrumental in saviug several lives after he had on caped from the front car. Reenter had a remarkable experience. lie was walking through the car when the rails spread. ?"I felt'the coach sink under me," ho said, "and as tho wheels began to bump f'knew that we had left thfts rails. I steadied myself by gripping the backs of two seals, Every other passenger in the coach, .and it was crowded, was in panic. They all sprang to their feet and stai'i.eJ for tne doors, I saw tne water on both sides of us and I reallzed*lhat If we went over that 1 wduld be lost if I tried to light my way to either door. Jj^Mid to myself: 'You must keep 5*Pour head, and you must go through a window.' "So, while all tho passengers divid ed atirt Rtormed the doors I stepped between the seats and waited In the middle of the car. I wus watching through tho window meanwhile and shouting at tho top of my volee for order. But the turmoil was so great that I could not hear my own cries. The screaming of the women was ter rifying, and 1 saw one woman strik ing a man with her flat in tho faco as she struggle<Tto protect her baby In tho crush. "I wondered why the train did not stop. I was almost thrown off my foot by bumping against the guard rail and I remember asking myself, 'Is the motorman mad?' I believe wo must have been runing twenty-five miles an hour when suddenly wo went over. There' wan an end of the roar of the wheels on the timbers, and for an Instant all our voices wore hushed as if In expectation arid awe of the fate confronting uk. "Just as. the car struck the water I put my flpt through the window, and as the tide rushed In I broke out tho bottom of tho pane with my foot. .1 felt tho car strike the mud. and I thought that If I coujd keep clear of the drowning passengers I could save myself. I held my breath, and with as much deliberation as 1 could muster I put my head and shouldors through tho window, and" gripping the edge of the roof with both hands,'I began to draw the rest of my body through. "I was almost clear when a hand closed on my left ankle. I pulled with all my strength, but was un able to break the hold. 1 thought I would bo drowned, and I began to kick in desperation. Whoever had the grip on me otust have been wedged between tho seats or else must have heen so frenzied as to bo unable to take the chance offered to escape. I was unable to get free by kicking, and with a last effort, clear ing my mind, I deliberately put my right foot asalnst tho wrist and pushed with all my strength. I was successful.
