BOY'S CHIN

FROZE TO THE ICE

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Miles Edwin Calvert was playing on the frozen River Ure, near Hawes, Yorkshire, when ณ friend. Evelyn Walker, aged 11, fell in.

Ho managed to get to her, but the ice

gave way am. he fell in, too. He lost his hold on the glit and she

was drowned,

As Miles struggled to get out, the wet sleeves of his coat, his hands and wet chin froze on to the ice. And when he was rescued his cloth- ing was so frozen that it had to be cut off him.

This happened last month. Weather
