- Description
- Members of Boy Scout Troop 47 and rescuers, carrying David Swaim on a stretcher after he suffered a minor heart attack on a hike in which the troop was marooned overnight in Arroyo Seco Canyon. The scouts became lost on their way back during a seven mile hike between Switzer's Camp and Oake Wilde. The troop lit matches to signal a rescue party of parents, deputy sheriffs, and county prisoners. All, including Swaim, survived the ordeal.
