YOUNG MAN AND YOUNG WOMAN OF
CONWAY DEAD
LOSES HIS LIFE IN THE SURF
Exhausted in Attempt to Save Third
Member of Party Bodies Re
covered.

Conway, July 20. - Special: A
gloom was cast over Myrtle Beach
and Conway this morning by the
drowning of Richard Nichols, the
1S-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Nichols, and Miss Annie
Seasons, the 12-year-old daughter
of Mrs. G. Robert Sessions, both
of Conway. Two sisters OF Mr.
Nichols, both younger than himself,
were rescued from the surf by him,
and in his efforts to save little
Miss Seasons both were drowned
The drowned bodies were found
within a short distance of the scene.
The sad tragedy occurred about 8
o'clock this mornin. Quite a crowd
Of people were IL bathing, not
more than waist deep when a swell
came in and knocked over the three
Nichols children and Miss Seasons.
Being unable to swim and unac-
customed to the surf bathin, it is
thought that when the wave passed
over them they lost control of them
selves and became strangled. Young
Mr.. Nichols, seeing the condition of
the girls, rushed to the hill with his
little sister and went back in an
herioc effort to save their compan-
ions, but being himself exhausted
anu tightly STaSpeQ Dy the young
lady, together they went down.
One of the young ladies rescued
suffered only from slight strangling,
while it required a great deal of
effort to revive the other. Young
Mr.. Nichols was cold when found,
and several hours work on young
Miss Seasons failed to bring her
to life.
News of the occurrance reached
Conway only short time after the
arrival of the morning train here
from Myrtle Beach. A physician
was rushed to the scene by auto,
and a short while following, Il spe-
cial train was ran to the beach,
which carried other physicians and
a large number of townpeople. The
two bodies were brought to Conway
on the noon train and will be in
tered at Lakeside Cemetery to-mor-
row. Young Mr.. Nichols was the
eldest son of the family and since
the close OF school here has been
working with his uncle, w. Boyd
Jones. He came into town yester-
day afternoon to join his parents
on trip to the beach. His moth
er and other members were at the
beach at the time of the tragedy.
His father had left him only about
an hour, having come over on the
morning train. Miss Seasons, wild
owed mother was also at the beach
with her children.
