ALSO Engineer Spence, when he came in Tuesday evening immediately went to the head of the engine to see if there were any indications on the pilot of his having struck a man near Harrington's crossing, and was relieved when he found none.

When Baggagemaster Finn returned on his "track automobile" he was told to keep on the lookout.

There is nothing within the glare of the headlight that misses "Jack's" eye.
