He was fearless and brave and always I remained at his post regardless ol Impending r danger. It is said by those who know, that the time for his promotion as Engineer was t . near at hand, but in the twinkling of an eye > the Reaper #bose name Is death cut him down and robbed him of the bright future , just ahead.
