small cut over his left eye due
to quick action by fellow work

Hasch, working alone inside the

plunged rs or 80 feet to the water
at the bottom of the pier.
Discovered Missing
Nobody saw him fall, Hasch
said, and he might have drowned
before his absence was noted. But
somebody--Hasch said he didn't
know who to thank discovered
that Hasch was missing and sum

Hssch was pulled out of the
water by rope let down by other
workers. He said there were sew
eral pieces of wood in the water,
but none large enough TO support
his weight. 1T was close" ex-

Slightly Exaggerated
Police, who took Hasch to the
st. Joseph's hospital, reported he
had fallen 100 feet before hitting
the water. That puzzled Hasch.

But was lucky
