trying to recover an oar. which had
become lost from his boat, yesterday
afternoon, Wilbur Andrews, 10 years
young woman, who was his guest, sat
helpless In the boat while Andrews
battled against death.
The young woman, Miss Della
Batchelder OF Standish. began scream
ing when she saw Andrews disappear.
attracting the attention OF young men
on the shore. When they reached the
boat Miss Batchelder was in a state
of hysteria, shaking with laughter
and totally unable to give any idea OF
what had happened.
The young men. thinking she had
been out there alone and had lost an
oar. and was therefore hysterical, tow
ed her to shore. and II was not until
she recovered that she was able to
tell what had happened. Even then.
because OF her disconnected story.
there was at first some inclination to
believe she was mistaken.
After Andrews failed to get within
reach of the drifting oar, he decided
age the boat in the swelling waves
with one oar.
Andrews parents live here, but he
had been working In Chicago for three
years, and was here on a vacation.
Two sisters and three brothers sur
vive him
