My dear Captain Muckle':
I have the honor in compliance with your request to hand
you the following report in reference to my aid to the injured
at the collapsed Building at the Northeast Corner of Eleventh
and Market Streets, Philadelphia, on Thursday afternoon, July
15th, 1909.
"I was walking west on the north side of Market Street
between Tenth and Eleventh Streets (about one o'clock) with my
Mother (ils. D.S. Baxter) when I heard a terrific crash, followed
by clouds of dust. I left my Mother standing on the sidewalk
and ran in the direction of the disaster, and on the way left
my hat in the saloon of the Bingham House, Southeast Corner of
Eleventh and Market Streets, and then ran over to the collapsed
Building and saw two injured women being taken away to a Hos-
pital from the sidewalk in an automobile. As I entered the
ruins I was stopped by a City Policeman and stated to him that
"I was a Red Cross Nurse" and the Officer immediately let me pass
into the collapsed Building. I found a projecting joist which I
hung on and dropped into the cellar where I saw two men, one was
already dead, and the other (H.W. Fickis) I called to and he an-
Cont'd.
