Little Georges, who has been unwell, is better. Louis Blanc dined with me. He is going to Paris. March 13. Last night I could not sleep. Like Pythagoras, I was thinking of numbers. I thought of all these 13's so queerly associated with our movements and actions since the first of January, and upon the fact that I was to leave this house on a 13th. We lunched at Charles's, with Louis Blanc.
She is at Jason, and unless she can get orders to run farther on No. 13's time, she will have to tie up there and be further delayed an hour. The conductor tells the operator at Jason to ask "DS" if he can help them out any.
By this means both trains would receive the same order, and there would be no doubt about the point at which they were to meet. To illustrate this method, let us suppose a case of two sections of No. 13 running east and one section of No. 14 running west. Both trains are of the second class, and as the east bound trains have the right of way, No. 14 must keep out of the way of the two 13's.
Thus No. 14 having received her orders, pulls out, and when she reaches Burkes, she goes on the side track and waits there for both 13's, because 13, being an east bound train of the same class, has the right-of-track over her. The same modus operandi is gone through with for No. 13, and when the trains have departed the operators pull in their red boards.
