FIREMAN THROWN CLEAR.
MATE BURIED TO THIGHS. THOUGHT IT WAS THE END. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) HASTINGS, this day. The fireman of the wrecked train, Mr. Donovan, interviewed, told his story in a few concise words: "I felt her tremble, and said to myself, 'This is the end.' I got to the side of the cab and leaned out. When she struck I was thrown clears I got up and found my maie buried to his thighs, and I pulled him out." Asked at 5 o'clock to share a seat in a motor car he replied: "I'll stay here, I never felt better in my life."
