THE EARTHQUAKES

THAT QUEER SHAKE
|
As in 1906? ... come on.... It can't still be too soon.
A troop of Boy Scouts volunteered to pretend to be victims in a test of emergency systems.
A mock earthquake was staged, and the Scouts impersonated wounded persons who were to be picked up and cared for by the emergency units.
One Scout was supposed to lie on the ground and await his rescuers, but the first-aid people got behind schedule, and the Scout lay "wounded" for several hours.
When the first-aid squad arrived where the casualty was supposed to be, they found nothing but this brief note: "Have bled to death and gone home."
