IN MOUNTAIN FALL
E. W. HINCKLEY KILLED
Continued From Page One
sliding and climbing, clinging
meanwhile to the bushes and
email trees along her .path,
she managed somehow to
reach the bottom approxi
mately 200 feet below the
point where she had started.
According to those who have
visited the scene, the canyon
wall is so steep and treacher
ous at the point where she
descended that one is forced
to wonder how a frail slip of
a girl with no experience in
mountain climbing could make
her way down in safety amidst
the gloom of night and clutch
ed by the fear of unknown
dangers lying on every 'side.
On reaching the bottom, Miss
Burleigh lost no time in
searching for her unfortunate
companion. Moving slowly
along in the darkness, and
calling his name at frequent
intervals, she was finally re
warded by hearing an answer
ing moan. Cheered by the
thought that he was still alive,
she pressed onward guided by
his anguished tones and at
length found him crushed and
bleeding among the rocks on
a narrow shoulder along the
canyon wall.
Owing to the darkness she
was unable to determine the
character or extent of bis in-1
juries, although realizing that
he must be badly hurt.. After
straightening the crumpled j
form as far as she was able,
the hcrois girl did all that
was. possible to alleviate his
sufferings. Searching around
in the darkness she found a
number of flat stones and
placed them under his head
and body to provide a smooth- j
er resting spot. Under the im
pulse of that God given spirit
of self-sacrifice so frequent
ly mannifested by women
kind in such moments, she
took off her extra stockings
and placed them under the suf
ferer’s head and also covered
his helpless form with her
sweater, her only real pro
tection, against the chill night
air. Finding water in a tiny
rivulet near where he lay, she j
further assuaged his torments
by placinug her water soaked
handkerchief to his lips; and
by bathing his torn and
bleeding face. Miss Burleigh
states that he was conscious
throughout the night and bore
the agonies of his injuries with
splendid fortitude. The time of
his fall is fixed by Miss Bur
leigh at about 10:30 p. m. For
rome hours the sufferer was
sufficiently strong to raise
himself to a sitting position
Oii such occasion sshe says she
was compelled to hold Mr.
Hinckley in her arms to pre
vent him from slipping into
rleeper depths below their rest
ing place among the rocks.
She says that although he fre
quently railed at the hard
luck overtaking them, he gave
no hint of a realization thai
bis wounds were mortal. Wit)
the approach of daylight h(
ijrew steadily weaker and a
1:40 a. m. by Hinckley’s watch
asked her to build a fire. |
These were apparently his last
words. With the coming of
dawn, Miss Burleigh, for, the1
first time during her long
j vigil saw clearly the battered
face of her dying companion
and realized that she must go
for help. By this time smoke
from the camp-fire of the
others was borne down to hei
by the morning breeze and
she knew that they were near.
Realizing that some
movement cf the sufferei
might precipitate him down
the slope, before leaving -ii
search of the campers she
thoughfully undid her belt
and fastened him to the rocks.
Then, again taking her life in
to her hands, the brave girl
climbed the lofty slide where
'he had descended and made
her way up the slope above
the canyon. By this time the
campers were coming down
the mountain in search ot
them and a few moments lat
er she saw Barry Blue ap
proaching. On receiving the
.ad news of Hinckley’s plight
Barry hastened back and in- |
formed Hubert Thomas, \yh; j
hastily made his way down to |
he injured man. Mr. Hinckley j
was still alive, but unconscious
and sinking fast, only a faint
heail beat disclosing that life
remained in his crushed and ,
battered f / m. Realizing tha. j
he could do nothing to aid tilt
ufferer, Mr. Thomas hasten -
an back to the others and ad
vised them to continue dowi
he slope by a different route
He then returned to the place j
where Hinckley lay, only tc
line! that the last lingering
-park of life had fled. Mr.
Thomas rejoined the others
but did not inform them of Mr.
Hinckley’s demise, thereby 1
sparing them the shock of
knowing that their late com
panion had passed away.
Their arrival on the beach was
-een by George Lowe, skip- j
per of the Silver Heels, who.
after making several trips tc
the landing place during the
night, had camped at the
mounth of the Marmot, to j
await their coming.
In the meantime Deputy Mar
shal McDonald and Robe
Stewart, father of Lillian, had
procured a launch and were
speeding down the Cana! and :
Ernest Blue and Chas. Fehr
ing were arranging to go tc j
the top of Mt. Lincoln if nec- ;
essary to locate the party.
Finding the surviving mem
bers of the party on the
Silver Heels, Marshal McDon
aid and Stewart returned tc
town and a party was hastily
organized to recover the re
mains of the unfortunate of
ficial. Those volunteering foi
the grewsome task included
Marshal McDonald, Robt. Sut-1
ton, a member of the climbing
part, Jens Pederson, Ernest ,
Blue, Ilolger Johnson, Merl
Thomas, E. E. Charlton, John
