RAYMOND HARRISON of Washington sustained burns over 80 per cent of his body Monday night and is a patient in the University of Virginia Hospital, Charlottesville. Circumstances of the gasoline fire which burned Harrison were curious, according to one report.
A calf had fallen into an old ice house on the Marvin and Gilbert property near Washington. Harrison, with Marvin Burke and Edward Hudson, went to the farm about 9 o’clock in the evening to rescue the animal. In the initial attempt to descend into the pit, a swarm of bees repelled the would-be rescuers. They obtained some gasoline and poured it on the bees to kill them, and once again Harrison went down the ladder followed by Marvin Burke.
Some unidentified spark ignited the gasoline, it was reported, and critically burned Harrison. Burke escaped injury, according to a neighbor’s account. The calf was singed, but largely unhurt, and was later pulled to safety.□
