Peter Burnand seized the wire, .not knowing it was alive, and by doing so saved his life. For a few moments he hung unconscious from, it, the charge of 200 volts locking his hand round t-he wire; but the engineer soon switched off the current, and his comrades caught hiim as ho fell. When a nurse had administered oxygen Peter seemed, to have felt, little the worse for his alarming experience.
