up a steep bank upset. Scott ran to the horse's head, and Kelly lifted out one of the servants; they got the cart up and made a fresh start. The money stolen from the bank was lying in the cart which Kelly drove. On arriving at the station, all the males were put in the store-room, and the females and children were allowed to go into the house. It was then half-past five o'clock. The gang began to make preparations for starting off, when a train was seen approaching from Euroa. It pulled up opp...osite the station, with the intention of picking up the line repairer Watts, who had been left at this spot an hour or so before. Ned Kelly called out, " Here comes a special train with bobbies, but we are ready for them, we don't care how many there are, we can fight them. " The train after waiting a short time moved on ; the driver, not seeing Watts any- where, started for Benalla. During the absence of the gang at Euroa Mr. McDougal suggested to some of the prisoners to make an effort to escape, as there were fifteen or sixteen axes hanging up in the store ; " and, " he added, " if each of us takes one, and commences chopping our way out, we can easily manage it.
