Tommy Sands trained as a telegraph operator at Sturgess and faced a flood of orders during a storm. In the rush he forgot a hold signal for the Eastern Mail, triggering a near disaster when the train nearly collided with the pay car. A lightning strike damaged equipment. Tommy escaped harm and was discharged, later joining his father's store.
