Greene: I left Salt Lake City, November 2nd, and arrived at Box Elder station in safety, had a very jileasan to passage on the Utah Northern. When I Hampton's Station, the terminus, in compny with some friends I stepped on to the engine and ran on to the end of the track, about four miles; when passing some very deep fills, sitting as I did where I could see all the danger, on hearing the man at the Engine say he had never run over that road before, all at once my blood seemed to stop in its course, I felt my heart stop its beat- msr; 1 iiaruiy Knew, wnere 1 was. isui in a few minutes I saw we were alb safe on level ground, which made all right again." There we' saw men laying ties and rails; as I stood looking at those 'willing hands at that great Work, I said in my heart, "what could this people do if they could be let alone!" T We stepped on to our swift beast, and ran back to the station, found the coach in waiting, were soon seated and off for Logan, where we arrived in safety. When I saw how far I had come in, in so short a time, I felt to thank the Lord for his kindness in helping this people to t, build the Railroad. And when I arrived in this far off northern clime and found all my children and friends well and prospering I felt more than thankful. I am stopping .at present at A.
