In the first moments of sudden disaster, of any kind, thethoroughly trained engineer is nearly always found, in the con-fusion incident to such a time, to he the one most competentto advise and direct the efforts made to avert the danger to lifelimb or property, and to remedy the worst after effects. To fulfil this responsiMUty is worth much previous prepara-tion, so that the best things under the circumstances may bedone quickly and efficiently. To this end the following adviceis given relating to the most common accidents which arelikel
