Man Wanders Fifty Hours.
Fifty hours without food or sleep, Harry L. Sommerville, manager of the Savoy Hotel, at North Yakima, Wash., wandered into the store in the Nile, in the headwaters of the Tieton basin, and later arrived in North Yakima. With W. W. Stratton, Roy Gilbert, and a man named Mulligan, Sommerville went hunting near Bumping Lake. He started from the camp to meet another of the party. He crossed a ridge and missed the other man. When the hour of the appointment passed Sommerville found that his worn tennis shoes with rubber soles were so slippery that he could not mount the side of the ridge again over the wet logs and pine needles.
“I had no feeling of fear at any time. I did not dare to go to sleep at night because of the cold in the mountains, but kept pushing on slowly. It seemed to me that I traveled a thousand miles, but it appears on the map to be only about thirty.”
