Half a dozen surgeons were busy in one of the waiting rooms at the Rugby station, whither the sufferers had been conveyed, and one of them took possession of the banker. HALF A DOZEN SURGEONS WERE BUSY IN ONE OF THE WAITING ROOMS AT THE RUGBY STATION WHITHER THE SUFFERERS HAD BEEN CONVEYED AND ONE OF THEM TOOK POSSESSION OF THE BANKER
ved was the immediate clearance of the line; and the sound of pickaxes and shovels almost drowned those other dreadful sounds, the piteous moans of sufferers who were so little hurt as to be conscious of their sufferings. The train from Shorncliffe had been completely smashed. The northern express had suffered much less; but the engine-driver had been killed, and several of the passengers severely injured. Henry Dunbar was amongst those who were carried away helpless, and, to all appearance, lifeless from the ruin of the Shorncliffe train. One of the banker's legs was broken, and he had received a blow upon the head, which had rendered him immediately unconscious. But there were cases much worse than that of the banker; the surgeon who examined the sufferers said that Mr. Dunbar might recover from his injuries in two or three months, if he was carefully treated. The fracture of the leg was very simple; and if the limb was skilfully set, there would not be the least fear of contraction.  OBJECT TO BE ACHIEVED WAS THE IMMEDIATE CLEARANCE OF THE LINE AND THE SOUND OF PICKAXES AND SHOVELS ALMOST DROWNED THOSE OTHER DREADFUL SOUNDS THE PITEOUS MOANS OF SUFFERERS WHO WERE SO LITTLE HURT AS TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THEIR SUFFERINGS THE TRAIN FROM SHORNCLIFF HAD BEEN COMPLETELY SMASHED THE NORTHERN EXPRESS HAD SUFFERED MUCH LESS BUT THE ENGINE DRIVER HAD BEEN KILLED AND SEVERAL OF THE PASSENGERS SEVERELY INJURED HENRY DUNBAR WAS AMONGST THOSE WHO WERE CARRIED AWAY HELPLESS AND TO ALL APPEARANCE LIFELESS FROM THE RUIN OF THE SHORNCLIFF TRAIN ONE OF THE BANKER'S LEGS WAS BROKEN AND HE HAD RECEIVED A BLOW UPON THE HEAD WHICH HAD RENDERED HIM IMMEDIATELY UNCONSCIOUS BUT THERE WERE CASES MUCH WORSE THAN THAT OF THE BANKER THE SURGEON WHO EXAMINED THE SUFFERERS SAID THAT MISTER DUNBAR MIGHT RECOVER FROM HIS INJURIES IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS IF HE WAS CAREFULLY TREATED THE FRACTURE OF THE LEG WAS VERY SIMPLE AND IF THE LIMB WAS SKILFULLY SET THERE WOULD NOT BE THE LEAST FEAR OF CONTRACTION
