August 1927: "Barren, emergency lookout-fireman, had returned one evening from putting out a fire on the head of Bridge Creek. It was 8:30 p.m. and he started to take off his wet shoes preparatory to rolling in for the night. Lightning was striking viciously all about the peak, and thunder was crashing incessantly.
Barren awoke some time during the night with his head and feet throbbing like fire. He was lying on his bed, his shoes were partly unlaced, and his recollections of the interlude zero. Upon looking at his watch he found it had stopped at 8:30 p.m. He hasn"t much idea how long he laid out.
Barren says his watch performs quite erratically since the storm. An hour more or less means very little to its mechanical intelligence. But Barren himself is still on the job. H.T. Phelps" (Six Twenty-Six)
