BURIED IN A QUICKSAND.
HORRIBLE DEATH OF JAMES H. PARsELLs
PEOPLE STRIVE FOR HOURS TO FREE HIM-Tz1
f SANDS CLOSE OVER HIS HEAD AND
SMOTHER HIM.

The village Of Woodsidc, L. l., was wildly ex-
cited on Saturday evening by a peculiarly dis
tressing accident by which James II. Parsells was
buried alive in the quicksands Of his well and so
badly injured that he died five hours after he
was taken from the we'll The people of the town
focked to the spot and worked heroicaly to
rescue the unfortunate man from the terrible
sand. but despite their frantic efforts to free
him by digging around him and pulling q rope
fastened about his body, the sands closed over
him.
The well was about fifteen feet in depth and
was in the centre of quicksand in the rear Of
a three-story frame house which Mr. Parsells
was having erected next to the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Mr.. Parsells had
gone into the we'll to repair one
OF the pipes in it when the sides caved in partly
burying him. When he was discovered his head
and part Of his body were still above the sand,
which was slowly pressing around him. He did
not seem to be much injured for he was cool and
self-possessed, and with a calm voice himself di-
rected the excited villagers, who were eager to
rescue him.
Steven and John Parsels, age fourteen and
nineteen, worked desperately TO save their fathers
life. Dozens of men with snovels worked around
the well, while others fastened ropes under Mr..
Parsells's arms Ten men pulled on the rope from
the second story of the new house, until deep
ridges were made by the rope in the window
sill, but all the efforts to pull out the failed
and the sand packed itself more solidly around
his form. 1t continued to rise, stealing up over
his shoulders and about his head. Stimulants
were given to the doomed man, and rubber tube
was placed in his mouth to supply him with air.
Meanwhile the rescuing party fought the deadly
sands desperately. They could not dislodgc the
the sands rose quickly, bubbling up like the
waters Of a spring. They surrounded the mans
head and covered him entirely. John Parselb
stood at his fathers head, and with shovel
worked furiously for nearly two hours Three
times he succeeded in clearing the sands from his
fathers head, but they rapidly covered it again.
being forced up, no doubt, by the crowds which
pressed closely about the we'll Trenches were
dug at the sides of the WELL in the hope that the
man might be eXtricated in that way, but they
were quickly reilled.
After working for a long time the rescuers sue
ceeded in dragging out the body but when the
sands had closed over Mr.. Parses's head the
air-tube fell from his mouth and he was suffo-
Gated. The man was carried to his home, 81
