One day when I was lunching at the Quadra Club in Vancouver, B. c., the checking room attend- ant did not giveme a check for my coat and hat. When I called her attention to the matter she said, "Oh. that's all right. I'll ce- member you” - and she did. Lat- er.

The second disaster occured in 1916 when the new span crashed into the river and disappeared. adding nine more lives to the toll of the bridge.
