C., OCTOBER 3], 1937—PART ONE. “Cried a Little, Prayed a Lot,” Says Youth Trapped 12 Hours By the Associated Press. CHELMSFORD, Mass, Oct. 30.— An exhausted red-eyed youth of 18 who lay trapped for 12 hours in a shifting sandbank today told how during the long night hours he “cried a little and prayed a lot” and once when an avalanche completely buried him “knew” he was going to die. And then as dawn broke and while Hundreds of tense volunteer workers held their breaths, a crew of Lowell sewer department employes, who had cautiously built a crib around the im- prisoned Manuel Camacho, carefully drew his bruised body from the sand and rushed him to a hospital. “My legs are a little sore, but I'm all right,” he murmured through chattering teeth. At Lowell Hospital he was treated for general exhaustion and given intravenous injections of nourishment. X-ray pictures disclosed no broken bones. The accident occurred while Ca- macho was helping load a truck. “I couldn't breathe” he said, “I knew I was going to die. Then I felt some one’s fingers clutching at my hair through the sand. I cried, ‘Don't let that damn thing come down again.’ “Some one gave me a crucifix to hold, I couldn’t help but cry a littie and I prayed a lot. “My father came down, I remem- ber, and talked to me. Things were becoming hazy and far away. Some one gave me some brandy and later coffee and a sandwich. “A priest leaned over and talked to me. I.was weak but heard him say, ‘Pray and everything will be all right.’ He told me to hold fast to the cruci- fix. I did. Even when I was using my one free hand to help scoop the send beneath me I would not let it go.” Cautiously rescue workers drove planks int) the sand, forming a squar: barricade to chetk further slides in the 35-foot bank. Then workers shoveled the sand out from under the imprisoned youth. wild birds and their songs and close- ups of native birds and animals of the Northwest are other features.
