This morning a special train, preceding the
ordinary passenger, with Driver J. Willis and Fire-
man T. Wright in charge of the engine, left Emu
Plains and made three attempts to get through the
tunnel. It was not till after portion of the train had
been left behind that they succeeded. When the
first portion arrived at Glenbrook the driver became
unconscious and the fireman was ill. Another driver

and left Glenbrook at half-past 12. Driver Willis
