The other was repre- : sented by a No. 16 car, proceeding j along its appointed track. There was the choice of the driver iof the Avon van ! Risk running into j the egg-laden delivery cart, or risk a ; collision with the approaching,, tram. Did he falter? No. He attempted j to dodge Kincaid's van and the tram |as well. It couldn’t be dune. There w z* a collision : still, the only thing . d'imaged was the body of the.
