Mrs. Julius manger wore a brown silk gown with pink lame sleeves and a hat to match, with a shoulder bouquet of orchids.

Fire Follows Blast In J. H. Scales Home

Explosion Heard As Flames Burst From Mocking Bird Valley Residence

Residents of Mocking Bird Valley moved pianos, carpets, bric-a-brac and heavy furniture at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the home of Joseph H. Scales, treasure of the Belnap Hardware & Manufacturing Company, caught fire on the third floor and burned slowly downward. The structure of frame and stucco was destroyed. The loss was $25,000. partly covered by insurance. Several pieces of furniture on the second floor, prized as heirlooms, and nearly all the personal belongings of Mr. and Mrs. Scales were destroyed.

Mrs. Scales, her daughter, Miss Evelyn Scales, and her son, Edward Scales, 10 years old, were in the house at the time the fire was discovered. A sound like an explosion was heard, and, as Mrs. Scales began an investigation, neighbors ran in and reported that the third floor of the house was aflame. Mrs. Walter S. Clark, who lives a short distance away, called the Louisville Fire Department.

Through error the firemen took the wrong road and arrived after the structure was doomed. They prevented the spread of the fire to other buildings.

Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. Clark and many other neighbors, before the fire descended to the first floor, ran in and out of the building, carrying? ? out household effects and assisting servants in carrying out heavy furniture.

Although he had never driven an automobile before, little Edward Scales saved the automobile of his sister, Miss Evelyn Scales. The automobile was parked alongside of the house, and the flames were beginning to communicate to the top when he got in and drove it to safety.

Members of the Scales family were unable to account for the origin of the blaze. There was no fire in the furnace and no one was upstairs at the time.

The attendants were Miss Katherine Deaderick, of Jonesboro, as maid of honor, and as bridesmaids Miss Kathleen, sister of the bride, Miss Neil Hoss, Jonesboro; Miss Bessie Taylor, Bristol; Miss Alva Watson, Newbern, Va. The gentlemen attendants were R. L. Jordan, Radford, Va; W. H. Pepper, Rural Retreat, Va; Tom A. Davis, Knoxville.

Survivor Tells How Scales and 3 Pals Were Lost

Wind Spills Sailboat In Choppy Sea

Five Swim Around for Time and Then Cling to Craft.

Only One Wins Fight

Father and Cousin Leave Here for East to Aid In Search.

Westerly, R.I., Aug. 13 (AP)-- The sole survivor of a quintette of young college men whose fifteen-foot sailboat capsized in Fisher; Sound Sunday night, John B. Colohan, at the Westerly Hospital today told how his four comrades were drowned.

The four men, whose bodies have not been recovered, were Joseph Hugh Scales, Jr., 20 years old, Louisville, Ky; Trowbridge Cottrell, 20, Westerly; John McIlvain, 19, of Ardmore, Penn., and Lloyd G. Bankson, 21, of Philadelphia,

Colohan and the four other men were spending their vacations at Watch Hill, R. I. Colohan told newspaper men that the quintette left Watch Hill for Fisher's Island about 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. They went in McIlvain's fifteen-foot Alden type sailboat. The trip over was uneventful. Early in the evening, he said, they started back.

Tipped By Wind

"It was about fifteen minutes before dusk when a sudden gust of wind hit the sail and tipped us over," Colohan said. "I judged we were about half a mile from the entrance to Little Narragansett Bay. We all climbed to the bottom of the boat and tried to right the craft. We got her up once but she went over on the other side. none of us had knives and we couldn't cut the sail off.

"We swam around for a while trying to get her righted, and then we all climbed on the side and hung on as best we could. Cottell was the first to disappear. I don't know just how it was except that all of a sudden he was gone. I think McIlvain started to swim ashore. He was the next to disappear."

After the disappearance of McIlvain, Colohan, clinging to the capsized craft, apparently lost consciousness, for he could not remember much of the night except that waves frequently broke over them and that he saw a searchlight. Later a power boat passed fairly near, but his attempt to hail it failed. He could not recall whether Bankson and Scales lost their grip on the boat or whether they attempted to swim for shore.

Found Delirious.

Ten hours after the boat capsized, George Adams, Noank, Conn., fisherman on his way to the Block Island fishing grounds, saw the Alden floating on her side and a man lying across the hull. He made for the wreck to find Colohan delirious from exhaustion and shock. It was only with difficulty that Adams got the youth aboard his own craft.

The rescue was effected about four miles southwest of Watch Hill Light. Adams took the rescued man into the Watch Hill coast guard station, where Colohan, scarcely able to stand and his arms rigid from their long cramped position, was wrapped in hot blankets. Later he was taken to Westerly Hospital, where he is apparently out of danger.

Coast guard and private boats and airplanes have been searching for the four bodies for hours without success.

Father, Cousin Leave

Joseph Hugh Scales, Sr., vice president of the Belnap hardware & Manufacturing Company, father of Joseph Hugh Scales, Jr., 20, years old, one of four youths believed to have been drowned when their sailboat overturned in heavy seas off Watch Hill, R.I., and Pinkney Reeves Allen, a member of the news staff of The Times, a cousin, left Louisville Monday for the Rhode Island summer colony.

Mr. Scales was first notified of the tragedy by Mrs. W. H. Andrews of Watch Hill, an aunt of John McIlvain, Philadelphia, another of the youths reported lost. Mrs. Andrews later confirmed the message in a long distance telephone conversation with Mr. Scales.

Young Scales was a junior at Princeton University and was [a for]mer student at Louisville male High School and the Lawrenceville, N. J. Preparatory School. His father did not know he was in Rhode island, but supposed he had gone there with friends for the week-end. His mother, a sister, Mrs. Evelyn Scales Mercke, and a brother, Edward Scales, are at Wequetonsing, Mich.
