AUTO PARTY Is
CLOSE IODEAIH
OVER THE PALI
Stout Fence and Providence
Step in When Car Runs
Partly Over Cliff

Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Frick witnessed
a hair-raising spectacle at the Pail last
Sunday morning, wherein Japanese
driver nearly sent an entire automo-
bile party over the cliff. only kindly,
mysterious fate Intervening to save
the party of six from certain death.
On their way around the island Mr..
and Mrs Frick were inspecting the
Pail when the japanese party arrived.
The latter, about six Id number includ-
ing two or three women with babies,
were in a practically new car, which
the driver stopped over the brow Of
the big incline, few feet from the
wooden fence.
All got out and after several min
utes' sightseeing climbed back into the
car, and the driver cranked up. It
then developed that the chauffeur had
not thrown the engine out of gear, for
as soon as the motor started the car
began moving forward. headed direct
ly for the fence over the precipice.
According to the story told by Mr..
and Mrs. Frick the driver immediate
ly became excited and lost his wits.
He braced himself in front of the ma
chine, pitting his strength against the
engine, then seeing the hopelessness
of it, jumped aside, threw up his hands
and began yelling.
The car, with its load of humanity
paralyzed with fright, moved slowly
and deliberately down onto the fence,
pushed the fragile barricade out to an
angle of As degrees and the front
wheels began climbing up the boards.
At that instant. when it seemed an
other inch would send the fence and
automobile crashing forward over the
brink, the engine stopped, and the
straining fence slowly pushed the car
back to the ground.
The terror-stricken Witnesses, as
well as the occupants of the machine,
nearly collapsed Finally one elderly
Japanese crawled out of the tonneau,
slumped down on the road, took off his
hat and began tanning himself furi-
ously. despite the fact that the air was
very cool at the time.
The japanese party preceded the
Fricks on down the road. and little
later the latter found the chauffeur
in more trouble He had crashed into
a fence. though without serious in
jury to the car.
