Island School Bus Wrecked
On S Curve Near 0rting

Last Friday night, while returning
from the basketball game at Kapowsir,
one of the school buses, driven by
Charlie Meyer, of Maury Island, failed
to make the second turn of an S curve
in the highway near Orting and roll
Ell down an embankment.
When the game was finished 1t was
too late to catch the south end ferry,
and there; was only a small margil1 to
make the midnight boat from Fauntle-
roy, The fog made driving difficult,
and although the driver had been over
the road several times before, and felt
fairly familiar with it he had for
gotten this second curve, at the bottom
of down grade. Even though he act
ed quickly and applied the brakes the
bus skidded off of the highway. That
the ten boys were not severely injured
was attributed to the fact that most
of them were asleep, and in q relaxed
position.
Passing cars picked up the boys and
took the five that were the least in
jured to Sumner for medical atten-
ton, while the three most badly hurt
we're taken to the hospital at Puyallup.
Two of the boys escaped injury.
Before the bus could be taken out of
the ditch the next day it had been
stripped of batteries, fire extinguisher,
TOOLS etc. Theft and liability insur-
ance will take care of damage of this
nature, and the care of the injured
boys. There was, however, no insur.
arce covering the damage to the car.
The top was entirely torn off, and
the body considerably wrecked. The
cost of putting 1t into commission
again will amount to about three
hundred and fifty dollars.

The Bus Accident

A measure Of the intelligence of an
individual is the manner in which ne
meets critical situation When Mr..
Myers and the sixteen high school boys
crawled out of the wreckage of their
overturned bus last Friday night, they
were certainly facing q critical situa-
ton. Almost miracalously it seems,
no one was hurt very seriously, but
flying glass had been responsible for
several bad CUTS some Of which were
bleeding rather profusely. Calmly the
boys went about applying first-aid.
Presently, thru the kindness Of passing
motorists the boys who were most
badly cut were on their way to the
Puyallup hospital A passing truck
took the rest of the crowd to Sumner
where, q short time later, they were
joined by the boys who had been
quickly treated at the hospital. TAX
ing a hasty inventory and finding all
present and were able to travel. the
boys chartered a bus for Seattle. BY
2:30 they were comfortably lodged at
the Y. M. G. A where, as one of the
boys expressed 1t, "a good nights rest
was enjoyed by all." Not the least
remarkable phase of the experience
was that the boys all got up in time
to conc home on the first ferry. Wild
stories OF the accident had spread over
the Island and the anxiety of many
mother was relieved when her boy put
in his belated and bedraggled APP
pearance. N....
Perhaps there is nothing so very
remarkable in all this. The boys
themselves claim they simply pursued,
in common sense manner the only
obvious course. Even so, 1t seems to
me, none the less worthy of note.
When boys behave SO sensibly and so
logically In such an emergency as this
one was, 1t seems to indicate the
possession of acumen of more than
commonplace veriety.

Boat Narrowly Escapes Destruction
BY Fire
The boat belonging to A. E. Eden,
scallop fisher, came very close to being
Il total loss last Saturday night, when
q fire started in the galley from an
overheated stove. Mr.. Eden had gone
to the A. J. Marsh home for dinner,
and Don Kinkaid, his helper, returned
to the boat before following Mr.. Eden.
He found the boat on fire and gave
the alarm. Only strenuous and prompt
work saved the situation. It was pure
ly accidental that the fire was dis
covered, and had it not been not only
the boat but the dock and buildings
at Cove might have been burned.
The loss of bedding, personal effects,
furnishings and damage to the galley
amounted to about $500. Only a few
sacks of scallops were destroyed. For
tunately Mr.. Eden was able to save the
ships papers. The insurance on the
boat had expired only a few days be-
fore, so Mr.. Eden will have to bear the
entire cost of necessary repairs.
