It was determined by investigating officers that he was thrown from the vehicle when it struck a tree on the way down. Brown, suffering from facial cuts and bruises, mild shock and exposure was not found until the following morning wandering along highway 101 near the scene of the accident. He was found by Floyd Barns of Bremerton about 10 a.m. who was delivering newspapers along his rural route. Barns took the injured man to Hoodsport where Ken Rose, Cap- tain of the Mason Connty Slzerfff's Reserve was notified along with Stan Sushak of the Washington State Patrol, Brown was taken to Shelton General Hospital for minor surgery by Lynn Barnett of Tacoma who was visiting relatives in the Hoods- port area. Barnett and Brown were met at the hospital by Rose and Robert Trail, also of the sheriff's reserve who returned to the area area several times before we ac- tually spotted it." He also stated the car was ob- viously a total wreck and doubted that Brown would have survived the crash had he not been thrown clear of the vehicle. A group of skin divers came to the scene of the mishap by boat and, according to .Rose "attempted to salvage toe hies al f h ", ld various parts o t e car even though it was not actually in the water.
