;- WEST YKLLOWSTOXE. Mont,
i (I'PH Lloyd Verlanic, Anaconda,
' Mont., was the (irst lo reach Mis
Purley Bennett, Coeur d'Alcne
Idaho, whose hushand and three
' children were buried in a slide
, caused by an earthquake. A fourth
child survived.
. Verlanic found Mrs. Bennett
Slid her son, Phil, 16. in the mid
dle of a dry creek bed.
"Mrs. Bennett was nude." Ver
lanic said. "She was crawling on
her hands and knees. She looked
. up at me, her face a mass of
blood and said, 'Oh, thank God:
I've been crawling and praying
; all night. My children, oh my
God, my children. I wish I could
find my children.' "
Verlanic said that when the
mountain crashed down into the
canyon, water from the Madison
River sent air swooshing up
- both banks with such force it tore
the clothes off campers.
Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Gilstand
Helena, Mont., were parked about
a half mile downstream from the
landslide and were among the
first to reach the injured.
"The roar sounded like the end
of the world," Gilstand said. "We
were sleeping in Hie car. It felt
as if 10 men were jumping on
jour bumper."
Air Force Warrant Officer Vic
tor James, 55, El Centro, Calif.
was parked in his trailer about
75 yards from where the main
. slide hit. '
"I heard a terrible rumble and
looked up," he said, "I saw the
whole damn mountain crumbling
II was awful. I saw a lot of fight
. ing during World War II but
never heard such a hell of
' roar."
UPI correspondent Robert Crcn
. nen narrowly missed injury in
- one of the aftershocks at I
. a.m. p.d.t. it happened near
where he and Highway Patrolman
- Robert Spear, rancher Don Cox
and Sheriff Lloyd Thomas of
. Beaverhead County were stand
ing. '
They had just driven" lo . the
downstream side of the rockslide.
. At , that point rocks were still
' trickling down the mountainside
. . and two cars could be seen
" "twisted like a wrung washrag,"
Crennen said.
; "I was jusl taking a- picture
i when Spear shouted 'Good God,
' look at that!' There were five or
six huge boulders coming down
from the top of the mountain.
"We were back about 50 feet
, from the slide and the car was
pointed toward the slide. We all
; jumped in. Spear got the car
- turned around just as the rocks
: came crashing down behind us.
"Seconds later a big ledge
5 broke off the cliff and came tum
bling down. One rock made a 10
" foot dent in the asphalt highway.'
In West Yellowstone, western
. gateway to Yellowstone, Laura
Schauer, Los Angeles, was com
, ing out of the Wagon Wheel Cafe
when the first quake struck.
"I felt like I was on waves,1
. she said. "I had no control. The
'. lights swung. Glass was flying
everywhere. I picked myself up
', off the ground several feet from
the steps."
: She suffered a lacerated left
leg.'
i Becky Alexander, Everett,
Wash., was driving out of the
park with her children, Leslie and
Larry, along with Glen and Thel
-. ma Alexander.
"We thought it was a flat lire
!, and stopped," Becky said. "The
boulders came rushing down both
in front and in back of the car.
One felled two trees In front of
the car."
