' R. T., repairman, sat on a bench in
the Hunter’s Point station of the sub-
way In Long Island City recently and
yawned. He had been working all
night and he was sleepy. He stood
up to keep awake to catch a train.
• But his lids closed and he fell
asleep on hia-feeL The rumble of the
approaching train failed to rouse him.
He swayed. At that moment the train
thundered in and Backe fell in front
of it. Three cars rumbled past be-
fore the brakes applied by Motorman
Charlea McGulrk stopped the train.
A few minutes later the emergency
crew reached the station 'with a
clanging of bells. A member of the
squad crawled under the train and
found Backe wedged, snugly in the
depression of the rails.
The policeman cocked his ears In-
credulously as be heard a stentorian
snore. He seized Backe by the legs
and dragged him out into the light.
The snoring- continued. On the way j
to St. John’s hospital the repairman j
slept, and even when he was lifted
to a cot.
“Unconscious?” the policeman asked *'

“Nojust a natural nap. He isn’t
even 'hurt,” said the ambulance sur-1
geon, and a particularly stentorian
snore verified the diagnosis. !
