AMAZING ESCAPES OF MOTHER AND SON
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright, (Received December 12, 7.50 pan.) LONDON, December 11. Mr Gordon Dickson, of Edinburgh, told a most amazing story. “I was dozing in a compartment in which there were four others. I knew nothing until I awoke, lying on the snow, several yards from a wrecked carriage. I had been hurled through a window and was not injured; my four companions were all killed. • “I helped in the rescue work, and the first person I dragged out was an elderly woman, buried in wreckage. I was staggered to find it was my mother, who was travelling unknown to me. She was miraculously uninjured.”
