Louelle Boche and Robert W.

was dressed in pastel pink and
carried a matching corsage bou

Thompson of Big Delta was best
man.
Following the ceremony a re
ception was held in the Bering

extend their best wishes to the
couple. Decorations were carried
out in pink and white with lovely
carnations, gladiolas and snap
dragons in abundance. A beauti

North Pole Bakery and tasty
hors d’oeuvres were served the
guests.
Mr. Oliver is employed by the

LONGVIEW, Wash. (/P) — A
selfless sea scout skipper who
! gave his life preserver to a floun
dering girl was one of two persons
drowned yesterday when a sail
i boat capsized in the Columbia
River.
The victims were William F.
Aberle, 47, of nearby West Kelso,
the skipper, and David Ammons,
19. of Longview.
Aberle was last seen giving his
life preserver to Bonnie Jean Ed
ged, 16, of Longview, and hold
ing her head about water. The
young girl was one of about 15
youngsters thrown into the river
when the open sea scout sailboat
VVannassey rolled over in mid
stream.
Waves from a passing freighter
were blamed for the tragedy.
Aberle’s daughter, Ruth, 16, one
of those rescued, received nation
wide attention last winter, when
she was found after wandering
for four days in the sub-freezing
weather of the Cascade Mountain
foothills. Both she and her father
credited her Scout training for
her survival. She was found on
December 15.

Rescue All Of Crew
Of Fire-Explosion
Destroyed Elder
(Continued from Page One)
“with everything we had aboard
except our three-inch gun.” They
couldn’t fire that, ho said, because
all the three-inch ammunition was
thrown over board to keep the
fire from getting to it.
The Brewster failed to spot,
also on Monday, the 20 Elder
crewmen who were ordered to
abandon ship March 10, the day
the fire broke out. They finally
were picked up by the dock land
ing ship Comstock at 3:15 p.m.
Friday. All climbed aboard unaid
ed.
The Elder’s skipped, Lt, Wil
liam F. Adams of Wilmar, Calif.,
said he believed the fire was
started by a faulty diesel injec
tion system recently repaired at
Pearl Harbor.
Flames swept up from the en
gine room, he said, and the hatches
and the stack cauhgt afire. The
fire was controlled in three hours
but it was three days later before
the blaze finally burned itself out.
The Elder was reached at 11 p.
m. Friday by the destroyer ten
der Piedmont. The Piedmont re
ported the 14 men aboard were in
“very good to excellent condi
tion.” Adams said they needed no
help from the Piedmont’s crew.
“I can manage my own ship
with by own men,” Adams said.
Adams declared the transport
Brewster passed only two miles
from the Elder.
“We signalled with flares, a
square flag, international distress
signal, smoke signals and mirrors.
We fired 20-millimeter guns and
Very pistols. The crew jumped up
and down on deck, waving any
thing they could lay their hands
on.”
The fate of the Elder began to
unfold after the navy’s intensive
air and sea search located the 26
crewmen aboard the life boat and
rafts.
