is having carless men in attendance who
seem indiferent bothe to their business & the
lives of men, which was apparent during
this days scene at least

But to the detail. Horses was hiched to our
cars drew us four miles & a half then we come
to the first incline plaine which we had to rise
two cars wer fassened at the top of the plain
to the same rope that ours was fassened to at
the bottom, the engine was stationed in a build-
ing at the top of the plain that drew the
cars up & down when all was ready the signal
was given by raising a red flag the engine
was put in operation & the cars started, this
plain was a half a mile long & raised 180 feet
we went up in 2 minutes, & I was truly
thankful to reach the top for had the
rope broak or fastning untied we should
have rolled back to the bottom with a tremen-
dious crash. We were then carried on to
Plaine No. 2, which raised 125 [feet] in half a
mile our boat rocked badly while going
up but No accident hapened. We then
continued on a level untill we came to the
incline plane No 3. this was one mile & a quartr
long & raised 320 feet which we went up in
4 minutes before we reached the top the
safty car that was attached to our boat was
flung from the track which draged many
rods & flung the roap of the wheels for
10 or 12 rods I made a signal to the engeneer
who stoped & it was replaced, here again
we were in danger of breaking the rope
which would have sent us back down the
mountain more than a mile or turned us
