They were all in the English coach, which was wrecked completely, but none of them were injured. One of the gentlemen was sitting side by side with a man who was killed instantly.

Certain it is, that if this does not happen, the fault will not be Mr. Riddle...
...them, and to the long and patient work of Mr. Crocker, as well as the assistance of Mr. Bancroft, the class owe much. Especially to the coach, who took the arduous position when the interest of the class itself was wanting, are they indebted for sending to meet Cornell a crew that pulled a stern race most pluckily, and in a form that only could be acquired by constant practice and the best of training...
