lar attire and succeeded in seizing
the younger girl, who clung with the
desperation of a drowning person
Twice the locked forms of the sisters
rose to the surface before some men
on the beach realized what was hap
pening. One went to the rescue and,
after gallant struggle, managed to
shove Elizabeth out to shallow water.
The sad news was conveyed to the
parents, who had reached a point
twenty miles away. and nothing could
be done except to search for the
remains.
Arrangements had been made for
the return journey, as Mr.. Fitzgerald
had been advised by Charles Duche-
neau, auditor of the Belmont, that
couple of relief cars had been sent
out. The Instructions were to wait
at Bodie. The relief car from the
Belmont was first to arrive at S a. M.
half an hour after the body had
reached that point. The family re-
mained to rest, while the funeral car
came through to Tonopah with the
body.
lnterment will be in the local GENE
terry, with the intention of removing
later to Minneapolis. where another
child is buried.
Postmaster j. j. McQuillan tells
the story, which he received at first
hand, developing interesting and
thrilling details as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzgerald, accom-,
panied by Tommy. left camp Tuesday
morning for the Hammond ranch
some twenty miles away, to procure
provisions and get the mail. The
girls were left alone and were anus
