M. N. WILLIS CLOSE CALL

Commissioner Merritt n. Willis, OF
this town, had a narrow escape from
drowning in the Smyrna River Wednes-
day afternoon. In company with the
other members Of the Levy Court be
went to Fleming's bridge over Smyrna
River to look over the structure, in con-
junction with members of the Kent
County Levy Court. The latter body
was represented by Messrs. Baggs, Fort
ner and Woodruff, and while the party
was about midstream on the bridge Mr..
Willis was stricken with vertigo and fell
backward into the river. The water is
pretty deep at that point and there are
also eddies, which make it particularly
dangerous.
Fortunately, when Mr.. Willis struck
the water he was revived and appeared
to realize his predicament at once. He
Immediately began to swim and struck
out for shore, which was about 100 feet
distant. He reached the shore in safety
and was assisted out Of the water by the
other members Of the party, who were
greately shocked by the accident.
When Mr.. Willis emerged from the
water he was fully conscious and man
living in the neighborhood, who hap
pened to be nearby, induced Mr.. Willis
to 60 home with him, and after he had
reached the house OF his friends he was
provided with dry clothing and appeared
to be none the worse for his unpleasant
experience. He returned home with the
other members Of the party and is now
enjoying his usual good health.
The object of the visit was to inspect
the bridge. The members OF the court
were surprised to note the condition Of
the bridge. The iron work has been
eaten through in places by the action Of
the salt water The members Of the
court at their next meeting will discuss
the matter.
