SECRET AGENT X9
Her First and Last
Parachute Jump
MARSTONS MILLS, Mass. OPi—
Petite, blonde Lois Ann Frotten,
20, with one leg partly entangled
in the sleeve of her parachute,
hurtled earthward nearly half a
mile late Wednesday — and sur
vived — when she landed in a
lake.
At Cape Cod Hospital the out
look for her recovery was de
scribed as good.
It was the first airplane leap
by the slender Hyannis telephone
operator and, she said, her last.
“I’ll never jump again,” she said
as rescuers lifted her from Mystic
Lake in a condition of semi-shock
and hysteria.
Witnesses said that as the girl
tumbled through the air, end-over
end, the entangled sleeve of the
chute disengaged about 100 to 150
feet above the water and partly
opened the chute. Its brief drag
may have saved her life. It ap
parently was enough to straighten
her position so that she struck the
water feet first, in a slanting, half
sitting position.
When she was rushed to the hos
pital in Hyannis, attendants were
astounded to discover that—apart
from facial lacerations—she ap
parently had suffered no more than
severe body bruises and hysteria.
Her thoughts in her tumbling
fall apparently were to correct her
error—if any. For among her first
words after rescue was the ques
tion, “What did I do wrong?” She
was wearing an emergency pack
but failed to pull the emergency
rip cord.
But during her plunge—appar
ently to the muddy bottom of the
20-foot deep water—and her rise
to the surface, she had sufficient
presence of mind to free herself.
