Missing Women Found After Week in Woods PORTLAND (APi Two women, lost t'or a week in a wil derness area of the Colombia River Corg \ were found alive and well Sunday. Plucky Mrs. Avera Ferguson. f>3. and Mrs. Bernice Sharkey, 75. both Portland, were trying to fight their way out of the deep underbrush when found by Sher iff’s deputies. In broken sobs the women re kited how they had t>een trapped in sight of civilization with no food and little water. Mrs. Ferguson, the younger woman, insisted they were not lost. “I know where we were." j she said. "I just couldn't get us out of there, but we certainly were not lost." The two w omen had been missing since last weekend when i they went for a drive in the Larch Mountain area 20 miles east of here. Their car, bogged down in mud on a side road, was found last Wednesday, and since then an intensive search of the area had been underway. They were found attempting to climb hand-over-hand up the face of a steep cliff. Mrs. Sharkey was in better condition than the younger wom an. Mrs. Ferguson apparently had been taking some type of medication before becoming lost. Doing without it for the week had weakened her. They were taken to a Portland hospital where their condition was described as “not bad at all." Both were expected to be released in a few days.
