A ll that was found were sev­
eral five-gallon cans, appar­

dumped by forest service air-
jump personnel. The cans pre­

flight over the area in a search
for plane wreckage, and from
the air gave the appearance of
tha plane wreckage, according
to the searchers.
After about 10 hours tha group
returned but Cauntlett stated
that where he first thought thr
cans might be the r e p o r t e d

Details of the accident were

said he thought the accident

Tuesday night or early Wednes­
day morning, as he was travel­
ling north towards Bandon.
He apparently lost control of
his car as he rounded N u tter’s

Crawled Out Window
The man, who is believed to
be in his early 30's, had ap­
parently crawled out the right
front window of his car, in spite
of his broken leg, and was
found sitting in front of the
car, only about a foot away
from the w ater. He appeared
to be in an extrem e state of
shock and was bleeding from
a severe gash on the forehead.
The roan was taken from the
ravine by stretcher to the w ait­
ing ambulance which had been
dispatched to the scene by
Schroeder Brothers Mortuary.

Signs of the accident were not

he was too far down in a gully

which accounted for the fact
that he was not found for some

is believed to have been the
