RENO (Nevada), August 14,
Interviewed by the United Press Association of. America, Mrs. Tomlin, who is in the Elko, Nevada, Hospital with three broken ribs, said: "Despite the horror it was not bad, considering how lucky some of us were." Mrs. Tomlin explained that she was in the outer berth of a bedroom car which was smashed. Her husband, Mr. L. B. Tomlin, was in an adjoining berth, but was only slightly hurt when he was hit by golf clubs, which fell from the rack. Mrs. Tomlin added that her husband was worried about business and about having missed the Lurline from Honolulu, "but his business would not be any good if he was not alive. ■
"It was unpleasant on the way to hospital from the accident. A man who died later kept asking for water. Then he said: 'I guess I am going to be five minutes late,' and he was still."
Mrs. Tomlin will be removed from hospital as soon as possible.
