at 2 P.M. We passed by a big train wreck where 26 persons were killed and over a hundred injured.

We had a wonderful trip. The only drawback was that I lost my pocket-book but it was worth it if for no other reason than to slip something over on our friends in Tours who thought they sent us direct.
