ADVENTURERS' CLUB
HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES
OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELFI
"Forest Death Trap" \
YOU know, when you go hunting, you more or less expect to
meet up with adventures of a certain sort. You might reasonably
expect to be treed by a bear, or hopped on by a wildcat, or
maybe bogged down in a mess of quicksand or socked on the coco
by a falling tree. You might expect almost anything BUT the sort
of mystifying experience that fell to the lot of George S. Quartin
of Brooklyn, N. Y., on a hunting trip near Kingston, N. Y., in the
middle of J.anuary, 1929. The best adventures are like that. It
isn't what you expect, but what you DON'T expect, that gives you
the big thrill you remember all down through the years.
George Quartin and his friend Martin Ross went hunting. They
might have expected to run across bears, wildcats, quicksand or
falling trees, but here's what actually did happen.
They started out from the little village of Accord, N. Y.?
started out into the woods, and along about evening, after
trying for two or three hours^to find their way back, decided
that they must be lost. That's something else a hunter might
easily expect, and certainly it did happen. But they don't count that as
an adventure. It was only the beginning of a train of circumstances
that led to a strange, terrifying night when everything was against them
and nothing seemed to make sense.
Night had come on, and still they were walking in circles trying to
find their way out of the woods. They were looking for a place to sleep
when Martin Boss saw a light in the distance. <
Hunters Discover Weatherbeaten House. i
It seemed to be a flare of some sort. The two men started ]
walking toward It. The flare died out before they had gone two
steps, bat moving In Its direction, they .same to an old, weather- >
beaten frame hoose standing In the middle of a clearing.
There was no light in the house, but they approached and knocked
on the door. There was no answer, but George tried the latch and
the door opened. They went inside?into a big, empty room. There
I wan a fireplace in the corner, and some wood beside it. _Thcy started
I to buildtnfi fire, but they never got It lighted. From that moment on,
Terrified now, the two lads picked up their rifle* and began shooting
at the door.
events crowded on the heels of event* so rapidly that they had no time
to think of anything else.
First came a crash outside. It sounded near the door. George and
Martin ran to it?and found it locked. Someone had fastened it from
the outside!
Then it was they noticed that the big, dim room had no windows.
What kind of a house was that? They noticed, too, that -
the door was a heavy one, made of solid oak?-two or three times
as thick and strong as any mere dwelling door had any business
to be. There was something mighty strange about that win*
dowless dwelling. A disquieting fear crept into the hearts of both
of them. What sort of place had they stumbled into?
Peculiar Odor Permeates the Building.
Shouting broughr^them no answer. Then they began to hear volear
outside. Whoever it was out there was ignoring their cries. They heard
sounds of a heavy object being drawn somewhere. A peculiar odor,
faint at first, began to permeate the whole building. The two lads lay
down in a corner, but not to sleep. They lay huddled together, trapped
like rats, wondering what their mysterious captors would finally do
with them.
They lay there silent while the hours went by. Then, suddenly
they were aroused by the sound of an explosion and the
thud-thud of running feet. The smell of smoke began to fill the 1
room?and in another few minutes the room was thick with the
smoke itself.
Black, acrid, choking smoke I It billowed up from somewhere below
them?filled their lungs and set them to coughing. Terrified now,
the two lads picked up their rifles and began shooting at the door. But
the door was too thick to yield even to rifle bullets, and if the men outside
heard the shots they gave no sign of it.
The room was getting hot. Now they could hear flames crackling
beneath them. The smoke was so thick that they could hardly breathe.
They were running around in panic, aimlessly dashing from one side of
that strange room to another. Flame was creeping through the cracks
in the floorboards-?licking the sides of the wall with its myriad red
tongues. Time vas passing, but they weren't conscious of it. All they
knew was the terrible fear of being burned alive in the mysterious trap
they had fallen into.
RmV a Plar.a 1a Eiejtna fnlfim* HmI.
Then they were beginning to drop from exhaustion and lack
of air. First George, then Martin. They were on their knees,
groping for a spot where the Intense heat would net aear their
akin when they heard a hammering es the deer, t * *?$
They were toe weak thai to ear# much what waa happening.
Through n date they WhUM the doer spttnter and fall to placet.
They saw it broken down, felt'a merciful breath of fresh sir roD
in through the smoke?safe dim, foggy figures come dashing in
through the doorway.' Tien hands were lifting them?dragging
them out into the gray dawn of a . January morning, and -Geerga
saw that he was in the arm* a# a state trooper and being lifted
into the front seat of a squad ear. !' > : .r > *
In another moment, Martin was in the car with him,"and they were
rolling along a backwoods road toward Kingston?still wondering at
the meaning of the terrifying ordeal they had been put through. The
whole answer didn't come until other troopers brought in two men they
had captured in the neighborhood of the house of mystery. The truth
was that Martin and George had stumbled on s baqjcwoods moonshine
plant. The moonshiners, taking them for revenue agente, had locked
them in, and left them to die when, a few hours later, their still exploded
and set the house afire. But someone who saw the blaze phoned
the troopers. Otherwise two lads who had gone a hunting might have
ended their day of sport in a night of tragedy.
