Laurens, Sepi. 22.—Miss Irene Todd, who was with Jeipme Gray, known to his friends as J^siry, when the Gray Court man was dvowned in Lake Mur ray Saturday afternoon when bis ou^' board motor bokt caught fire and blew op in deep water, pieced togetber the atoiy of the harrowing'e^;>erienoe to day. Mr. Gray it the ton of Mrs. Emma Dial Gray and the late Robert L. Gray and a nephew of former United Statee Senator N. %.. Dial Mitt Todd, of Barksdale, who wa« itt-the boat t^h Mr. Gray, eecaped fay swimming ashore after Gray had call ed to her to save herself by jumping into the water, ahe was quoted today aa aaying after ahe had partially re covered from shock and expoaura. Opirdon it held that Orgy’s clothing had become ignited aa he attempted to fight back the blase and that he was thrown into the lake by the explosion. Mias Todd said ahe did not see him again after he had ordered fates, to a^e herself by disrobing and jumping over board. She was taken to her home be tween 8 and 9 o’clock Saturday night by Jolm S. 'Harmon and one or two other men from Laurens who had been Hshing on the lake during the day,. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Asa Todd of Barksdale and teaches in the Hickory Tavern high school. Mr. Harmon said that Miss Todd seemCd unable to give a coherent account of the tragedy until after her arrival home, for the reason that she was so terribly upset over the harrowing ex perience she did not discuss the acci dent very much oh the drive home. After pi tinging into the water she swam to a small island a few hundred feet distant, she reported. There she disrobed and swam to shore, a distance estimated by Mr. Hannon at about 150 yards. Some time later she recovered sufficiently from exhaustion to attract the attention of two women *said to be residents of Newberry.
