The car turned over going down the embankment, but landed on its wheels in the river about eight feet from shore. The river at this place came up almost to the top of the automobile, a sedan, which filled rapidly with water, and they would' have all drowned had it not been for quick work on the part of Mr. Greer and his oldest son, E. A., Jr., 15 years old. Mr. Greer forced open the door of the automobile and got out on the running board, while E. A. crawled to the top of the car.

The other children received only minor scratches and bruises. They are Jennie, 13, Clyde, 10, and Caroline Ann, 20 months old. Mr. Greer and another passing motorist, G. E.
