ing together with innertubes when '
Billy drifted farther out than
she thought was safe. She said
she began swimming toward him
and, while she had turned her
head momentarily, and looked
again, Billy apparently had
tumbled from the inner tube he
Was riding. She said he came up
and reached for the tube but it
was gone. He went back under
then, -she said. Then she went
ashore and called for help. It is
understood that he could not
swim.
The children were guests of
Mr. and Mrs. R. I. Denton who
are staying at the Seventh Day
Adventist conference grounds
near Bolton.
The recovery of the body was
effected by the Lake Waccamaw
Rescue Squad in cooperation with
the Chadbourn Rescue Squad and
personnel of the Wildlife Re
sources commission and the State
Park Service. Rescue workers
abandoned the search at 9:45 p.
m. Monday but were back on the
job at 5 a. m. Tuesday.
Wm. S. (Bill) Edmunds, cap
tain of the Lake Waccamaw Res
cue Squad, said the body came to
the surface in five feet of water
about 50 feet from where the
youth went down Monday.
It was reported that a north
east wind was blowing at the
time of the drowning and this
may have accounted for the
youth drifting beyond reach of
the others.
Edmunds said this was the first
drowning at the la«e in the last
five years and the third since
the rescue squad was organized.
Denton asked that all who had
a part of locating the body of
the drowned youth are extended
appreciation for their prompt
response and untiring efforts in
the successful recovery.
Young Segur was a student at
Winter Haven Junior Academy
at Freeland. He formerly resided
in Temperance, Mich.
