QUICKSAND RESCUES.

Planks Haul Boy To Safety

Two London railway clerks, Dou- glas Broad, 17, and Sidney. Hard-- ing, 17, who were spending a holi- day at Carisbrooke. Isle of Wight, had a narrow escape at Alum Bay,- near the Needles.

They were attempting to climb a gully between the coloured sand! cliffs and the chalk cliffs of the Needles when they were caught in the quicksands.

Harding sank up to his armpits. Broad, after a struggle, reached. harder ground, climbed the cliffs and ran to the Needles Hotel for help.

Mr. H. J. Bicheno, manager of the hotel, stated: "Broad came rushing into the Hotel smothered' in mud. He gasped out, “My friend is sinking in the bog."

"Knowing the danger, I immedi- ately went to the cliff with my The following quotations have head waiter, Mr. Groves. Two other been received by Reuter-

cliff.

In the summer the gully is full of loose sand mixed with clay, but in winter rain turns the spot into a bog. After wind a dry crust forms on the top and it tappears safe. At some points it would be 24.87n possible for a person completely to

disappear.
