Whilst negotiating; a sharp curve between Matnmau end Piri Pin, nt a rate of 25 miles por hour, the occupants of the first-class smoking compartment were bewildered with the knowledge Hint tin carriage had attained w> great an angle that many of them made a hasty rush for tho platform with the intention of leaving the train. It was with difoculty that one found one's oquilbrium, and an idea can be gained as to bow great the angle was from tho fact that the packages stowed away on the racks were thrown to the floor, much to the discomfort of those who hnppenea lo be beneatn.
