BUS HURLED INTO LAKE
26 passengers escape ; Twenty-six people smashed their way out of a motor omnibus which toppled over a steep 20ft. embankment near Oban, Scotland, recently, and plunged into the waters of Loch Awe. The owner-driver, Mr. Bernard l Cotter, who was travelling to Oban with an excursion party of 25, slowed down to pass a motor-car coming in the other direetion. The edge of the road gave way and the vehicle was thrown down the embankment. Another few yards it would have | plunged into 40 fathoms of water. As it was it almost submerged. Passing motorists and pedestrians •' raced to the rescue and waded to the side of the omnibus, but the passengers had to smash the windows before they could be pulled out.
