Slabs of bacon still hung from the roof logs beside the row of tin coffee-pots; the sawdust-filled box was still the object of intermittent bombardment by the tobacco-chewers, the uncertainty of whose aim was mutely attested by the generous circumference of brown-stained floor of which the box was the center.
He was back in a minute, and took up his position near a sawdust-filled box that did duty as a cuspidor. "Now fire away," he said. "In the first place," I began, "do you remember the day the Washington Flier was wrecked below here?" "Do I!" he said. "Did Jonah remember the whale?" "Were you on the platform here when the first section passed?" "I was."
