JOE WAFFORD'S LIFE SPARED
IN RIVER DUCK HUNT MISHAP
Another Tragedy of the Muddy Rapids of the Muddy Roa
noke in Holiday Week Body of Vincent not found.
Wafford Saved Himself by Reaching Rock, Where He
Spent Terrible Night
VlNCENTs BODY SOUGHT BY MANY

Inc Roanoke again took its
toll of death on last Friday
afternoon when Edward Vim.
cent, soA of Mrs. ]. F. Vincent
was drowned while attempting
to make his way to shore from a
rock on which the conoe occupied
by himself and Joe Wafford had
stranded.
The two boys had gone to the
river to hunt ducks early Friday
afternoon and when they did not
return Friday night consider
able uneasiness was felt for
them by their parents. Saturday
noon just as hunting parties
were about to set out to look-for
them the news was brought that
Joe Wafford had been seen on a
rock in the middle of the river
about five miles above the
bridge. Resue parties immedi-
ately set out for the scene and
Wafford was brought ashore in
a boat about four o'clock.
Wafford stated that the boat
had become hung on a rock and
that after repeated and futile
attempts to refloat it, he and
Vincent made their way to a
nearby larger rock from which
Vincent attempted to make his
way to shore. Vincent succeeded
in getting to another rock some
thirty feet shorewards and call
ed to Wafford to follow him, i'm
mediately afterwards exclaim-
ing mo, don't" Wafford had
lest sight of Vincent in the
Xthering dusk and although
he called repeatedly he did not
get an answer. Wafford spent
Friday night on the rock wet to
the skin and without shelter. He
was about to attempt to make
his way to shore on Saturday
morning when he was able to
signal to a man passing along
the bank. He then waited until
the rescuing party reached him
and took him ashore little the
worse for his terrible experience.
Although almost constant ef-
forts have been made to locate
the body of young Vincent since
the tragedy occurred they have
been so far unsuccessful and
whether the Roanoke will ever
give up its dead is a doubtful
question in the minds of those
Who know best the lntricacieS of
the rocks and rapids of the
treacherous river.
The tragic occurrence cast a
gloom over the entire communi-
ty and widespread and heart
felt sympathy is felt for the
family of the unfortunate youth.
Young Vincent was a deserving
ly popular lad, one of the best
athletes in the High School,
fearless, an expert swimmer, a
fine, outstanding boy, whose ira
gic end is sincerely and deeply
regretted by all who knew him
