"That was the first accident that attracted attention to Lew.
"He's the biggest one I ever caught," answered Lew. "He'll make a meal himself." "He'll have to," returned Charley. "We can't fish another minute. It's almost dark now." Lew slipped his finger down the throat of the gasping fish, and bent the creature's head sharply back. The trout hung limp in his hand.

Several reports have been sent out from Johnstown, one as late as last night, to the effect that Mrs. Wallace was believed to be among the victims of the disaster.
