COUPLE PLAY ADAM AND EVE.
Estes and Wife Start In Bathing Suits
and Return Clad In Skins.
Healdsburg Enterprise, 1 January 1916
After living in the Maine woods near
Bingham as “Adam and Eve” for two
months Walter F Estes and his wife
of Gray, Me., have returned to Boston.
They emerged from the woods Dec. 1,
having begun their primitive life Oct.
1 clad only In bathing suits.
Although they had no weapons of
any kind when they entered the woods,
they succeeded in obtaining their own
food, started fires by rubbing two
sticks together and constructed their
own shelters after the weather became
too cold to sleep in the caves.
Their bathing costumes were soon re-
placed with suits made from the skins
of snared animals, which they wore on
their return to civilization.
