Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1907-11-15

Soon he breathed again, but he re-
NAMED unconscious, and a restored cir
culation caused blood to flow freely
from the back of his head.
OF course the men were volcing their
surprise throughout this unparalleled
experience.

At last one of them noticed his bro
ken scalp. He pointed out the wound
to his companions.
THAT was never dean by fallin' + t.
waiter" he said.
They agreed The thing was mys-
teriously serious. Philips youth, his
nature, his delicate skin, the texture
of his hands, the cleanliness of his
teeth and nails, were quick tokens to
the fisherman that something quite be-
yond the common run of seaside acct
dents had taken place. The oarsman,
man Of much intelligence, hit on an
explanation.
HE was swarmin' doom t. cliff after

"he wouldn't strip tie t. skin for that

| This was unanswerable. Not one
gave a thought to the invisible Grange
House.
They held hasty consultation. One
man doffed his jersey for Philips bene-
! fit, and then they hastily covered him
with oilskin coat and overalls.
1t was now nearly dark, so they
ran out a marking buoy for their net,
/ shipped oars and pulled Justify to their
remote fishing hamlet, three miles
away from the outlet of the river
which flowed through Scarsdale.
Arrived there, they carried Philip to
the house of one who was the proud
owner of spare bed.
And now fresh difficulty arose. A
doctor and exc Il policeman should be
summoned. A messenger was dis
patched at once for the nearest medical
man, who lived a mile and a half
away, but the policeman, who dwelt
in the village, was a bird of another
color
These men were poachers, lawbreak-
ers. At various times they had all
been fined for illegal fishing. The po-
liceman was of an inquiring turn of
mind He might fail to understand the
mystery of the cliff, but he would most
certainly appreciate every detail of
their presence in that particular part
of the sea which Tapped its base.
So they smoked and talked and tried
rough remedies until the doctor ar
rived.
To him they told the exact truth. He
passed no comment, examined his pa
tent, cut away the hair from the
scalp wound, shook his head over 1t,
bound it up, administered some stimu-
liant and sat down to await the return
of consciousness.
But this was long delayed, and when
at last Philip opened his eyes he only
rallied sufficiently to sleep.
The doctor promised to come early
next day and left
Throughout Wednesday and Thurs
day Philip was partly delirious, wax
ing at times to vague consciousness
of his surroundings, but mostly asking
vacantly for Evelyn"
Often he fought with person named
"Jocky Mason" and explained that
"Sir Philip" was not in Yorkshire at
all.
The wife of one of his rescuers was
assiduous in her attentions. Most for
tunately, for these fisher folk were
very poor, that lure spread beneath the
cliff inveigled an unprecedented num-
Der of salmon, so she could afford to
buy eggs and milk in abundance, and
the doctor brought such medicines as
were needed.
Gradually Philip recovered until at
O'clock on Thursday night he came in
to sudden and full use of his senses.
Then the doctor was sent for urgent
~. Philip insisted on getting up at
once. He was kept in bed almost by
main force.
With the doctors arrival there was a
further change. Here was an educated
man, who listened attentiyely to his
patients story and did not instantly
conclude that he was raving.
He helped too, by his advice. 1t was
utterly impossible to send a telegram
to London that night. No matter what
the sufferings Of anxious friends con-
corning him, they could not be as
