Murch's 21-year old son, Andrew Crawford. And- rew went up Hollyburn Ridge last Sunday morning. Not having returned on Sunday night his family divas Bomewhat perturbed but thought that he had en- countered conditions causing him to spend the night in one of the many cabins up there. On Mon- day morning, however, his con- tinued absence made them an- ticipate some accident and Mr. Murch got, in touch with the police about 9 o'lock in the morning. Nothing was done un- til Bill Russell and Robert Nor- mand frere told of his stepson's disappearance by Nr. Murch at noon. These two immediately set out for Hollyburn Ridge to search for the missing man but finding Tio trace returned hoping that he had got back. Learning that he was still missing they started off again on another trail telling Mr. Alurch that if unsuccessful this time they would organise a reg- ular search that (Monday) night. within one hour of their second return a search party of about 25 was organised. Mr. Paterson, principal of the High School divas asked to get in touch with some of his older pupils and ex-pupils who knew the hills. Most of the searchers got up from their supper tables after a day's ivork and spent that night on the Ridge. They met at Ambleside about 8 p. m. and divided into six parties each taking a small flask of rum and a first aid kit. Arrangements were made for signalling in case Crawford should be found. The uppermost thought in all minds divas the necessity of quick action, hoping against hope that the missing lad might be saved from a second night's suffering. These searchers spent the en- tire night searching the hills and many of them who came down early in the morning started off again right after breakfast. By this time other agencies had got into action. The B. C. Mountaineering Club and the Canadian Alpine Club members organised search parties and every nook and cranny on the Ridge was thoroughly searched. On wednesday afternoon a- bout 2 p. m. a party of four EVest Vancouver boys, R. F. F. Robin- son, Albert Hawkes, George Stack and ('. Court discovered the body in the bed of the east fork of Cypress Creek at the western extremity of Hollyburn Ridge. According to the boys and to members of the main search party that arrived on the scene a few minutes after the discov- ery, Crawford's hands were bad- ly lacerated from his efforts to claw his way up the steep bank of the creek. From marks on the bank he had slipped over its edge and then succeeded in creeping back to the top, only to slide back from exhaustion. He also had a cut on his head, but this wound was receved about two weeks ago in an auto accident and ap- parently reopened by his frantic efforts. However, all searchers agreed his injuries frere not of a serious nature and the cause of death was exhaustion and the intense cold. Death probably took place Sunday night. The names of some of the lVest Vancouver men taking part in the search were: Harry Dixon, Hob Parkyn and brother, R. A. Fraser, Hany Normand, George Smith, Jack Normand, Bill Reid, Bobby Seeds, Rex NcLean, 5I. Romans, F. Patterson, J. Con- don, J. T. 1Vatt, Bill Jessop, A. Duncan, P. Blower, B. Russell, blue Ford, ~V. Russell, T. Russell, R. Normand, A. lV. Kruger, R. F. Robinson, Albert Hawkes, George Stack and G. Court. There were several others whose names we were unable to obtain. The remains are now at the undertaking parlors of Harron Bros. and ~VHliamson of North Vancouver where funeral serv- ices will be held at 3 o'lock next i~londay afternoon. Interment will be in the Capilano View Cemetery. i~fr. J. 1lcC. Hill of the Christian Science Society will read the burial service. DRESShfAK IiVG WANTED -- Ladies and Children's work done.
