Lost Youth Wins
Out In Tussle
With Idaho Wilds
WEIPPE, Idaho, Nov. 4 P

how he seined for fish with his
trousers while he was lost in the
mountain wilderness of northern
Idaho.

days and two nights of wandering
in the dense and hilly forest
northwest of Wcippe.
Harvey lost his way Sunday
when he went to help bring out
an elk shot by another hunter.
On his first night in the open,
it took all of his supply of three
matches to get a fire started. He
buried himself under boughs
from a fir tree and spent the
night comfortably.
Hunger was his problem on the
second day and It. remained a
problem.
"I tried to unravel one of my
wool socks to make a fishllne out
of it," Sperry said. "That didn t
work.
"Then I took off my heavy wa
terproof pants and tied the bot
toms of the legs together to try
to seine some fish from the
stream. That didn't worl. cither."
With no matches to build a fire
he tore up a huge pile of ferns
for his bed the second night.
Sperry got his bearings the
next morning and started for the
most prominent lookout In the
area. On the way he 'ound a
logging road and arrived at a
Potlatch forest camp northwest
of Welppe about 2:30 in the afternoon.
