Transcription

I remember that night, I heard crackling, I said, “What the hell, there’s a fire on in here.” He says, “What? ” I says, “It sounds like the place is afire.” So, anyway, I was sleeping on that side of the camp there, up above, and anyway, all of a sudden I heard screeching and the camp collapsed. I was thrown right out the door, the side of the building. The logs let go there, anyway, there when it collapsed, there were fellows on there, a fellow by the name of Ted [Sawsa], one of the Sawsa boys got crushed there. There was one log, there was a fellow under, and I went and if I had of tried to lift the log the next day I wouldn’t have been able. I lifted it with fright to get the fellow from under it. I just forget his name but . . . what a horror that night. It was frightful.
