WENT UP 1,000 FEET Little Fellow Happy After Night in the Woods, but Unable to Tell of Adventures and Hardships He Underwent. Winsted, Conn. Henry Tammien, 3 years old, and the son of a farmer living in ihe town of Colebrook, disappeared dis-appeared from his home one night just before sunset. He was found next morning two miles away from his home, standing at the edge of a ClilV 1,000 feet high. The child's recovery alive is due immediately to a coJlie, which was ' out with a searching party and was deflected from his duty by a wild goat which crossed his path. In following the goat half way up a mountain side he saw the boy and his furious harking hark-ing was answered by the searching party. Was Not Afraid. No one except the child knows through what adventures and dangers-he dangers-he passed that night, for he is too young to give a connected account of his exploit aud has sleT't almost continually con-tinually ever since he was found. He declares he did not sloop at all during the night, but insists that he was not afraid, and would like to spend a night in the mountains again. All the men and women who could be spared from their homes near the Tammien farm started out in search of little Henry that night after his father and mother had made frantic attempts to learn by telephone if any one had seen the child. The search was conducted in a thorough and systematic sys-tematic fashion and the mountainside was assigned to a party composed of the youngest and most active men. Such men as had good dogs took them along. They spent all night in the woods which line the mountainside, built several fires to show the child where they were, and from time to time called his name with megaphones. Found Little Henry Standing There. Not even a footprint rewarded their search, the dogs picked up no trail at ali, and toward morning a heavy rain added further discouragement to a situation which to most of the searchers began to appear hopeless. They had found the mountain such stiff climbing that a number of men dropped out of the search. Dog Gives Chase. John Foster, toward 5 o'clock in the morning, was about to call his dog and go down the mountain when the dog spied a wild goat in the underbrush under-brush and made after it. The goat went from rock to rock at a merry pace, and Foster's young collie held the chase until the goat had distanced him completely. Ultimately the collie stopped at the edge of a cliff which loomed over Foster's head, and from which, as Foster Fos-ter thought, the animal was unable to make his way down. At least he made no attempt to return. After a toilsome scent Foster made his way to where the collie stood, still barking furiously. And as Foster reached the top of the cliff he found little Henry standing there, wet through with rain but full of cheer and smiles and apparently with no notion no-tion that his absence from home had cost any one a wink of sleep. |
