BURIED LIKE A HUMAN.
PARRY THOMAS’S “BABS.” AT PENDINE SANDS. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, March 5. Parry Thomas’s giant racing car (“Babs”) was towed from the beach at Pendine and buried like a human body in a great grave, dug by the villagers on the sand dunes. It was at first proposed to take the car out to sea, but it was thought that it would only be washed ashore. The villagers, therefore, dug a huge pit to which the car was dragged by a tractor and heaved into it. The spectators uncovered their heads while the sand was shovelled over it.. It is expected that a stone will be placed on the spot to mark the grave.—)A. and NY.)
