I Tiro Men In Pacolet Rirer
W Chevrolet sedan ran off steep bank into river gorge just
above boulder bridge this side of Melrose last night about
9 o'clock,, and buried in the water two men who broke
through the glass doors and crawled out far enough to
keep from drowning where they waited for two hours in
icy water and a swift wind until rescued. The roar of the rapids
drowned their cries for help and they probably would have
staffed there all night had not two farthers in a wagon seen the
car leave the batik. They flagged R.W. Earley and Dr.Fulder who were
returning from Asheville. They were unable to help them and came to
Tryon for more men and some rope for it was thought the car might
have to be moved. Dr. Jervey was there for first aid. A rope was thrown
to the men who tied it to the cat and crossed the water by walking the
rope with their hands while a safety rope was tied around the body. One
slip might have been death. It was a miracle that the men Were not
killed instead of receiving only slight bruises and cuts. The men were J.
H; Wheeler and Ernest Andrews of Campobello.
