B7 the Associated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., November 4.— Two-pound Ella Pearl Bridges died early today and left her equally tiny sister Lee Earl as the sole survivor of quadruplets, born Monday in a storm- swept Missouri cabin. ‘Throughout the night a nurse at Baptist Hospital administered oxygen to the infants as they lay in incu- bators. For a time it seemed science might be able to maintain the two teeble life sparks, but Ella Pearl died at 4:45 am. (C. 8. T). Hope still was held for Lee Ear], at- tendants said. ‘They had appeared none the worse for thé 130-mile trip yesterday in an ambulance from near Senath, Mo, Wwhere they were born. Mrs. Pearl Bridges, 35-year-old wife of a sharecropper, James Bridges, gave birth to the quadruplets Monday night while a cold, driving rainstorm swept the cypress swamplands of Southeast Missouri, Dr. Prederick William Speidel, 68- year-old country doctor, delivered the babies in 6 minutes, starting at 6:30 pm. He worked in the feeble glow of an ol lamp, the only light in the two-room, clay- cabin. He annointed each with warm grease, the only thing available, placed them in bed besige their mother and left instructions with the wives of neighboring farmers for their care after he had made them as comfort- able as possible. But & few hours later two of the quads, & boy and a girl, died in the 1lly ventilated cabin. The plight of the family was learned in Memphis. An ambulance carrying a nurse and supplies sped to save the bables. The “mercy” crew found two of them dead when they reached the cabin. They placed the survivors, Ella Pearl and Lee Earl, in a cardboard box and a market basket, warmly wrapped in cotton, and started the return trip through the swampland and rain-swept highways of Missouri and Arkansas. A nurse, Miss Ruth Treadway, gave the babies oxygen almost continuously in the speeding ambulance. Crimson Honey Made. Crimson honey is made by bees from cactus in the territory of Ha- wail, DR. A.
