mice gate the passengers the benefit of hi- -kill, supervising the dressing of till' wounds of the injured, besides performing an operation with onlv a poc-ket-knife.

Dr Walker did net trouble to tell anyone who he was. and when ap- ■ mai-hed and asked to discuss the eireunistames he expressed a desire to remain anonymous. He said that at tlm s-cue of the wreck many people were doing all in their power to ns-si-t -ulfefers.
