"I was petrified,' said Mrs. Filson, "I drove very slowly to the garage wondering whether the snake was sud- denly going to come slithering out at me from the pedal slits." This little melodrama from real life began when Mrs, Filson's car was parked out- side her suburban home Wed- nesday. Neighbor Wal Jenkins could hardly believe his eyes when he saw a striped tail disappearing into the engine Filson's automobile. He rang his neighbor's door- bell and told her what he'd seen. Together they tried to coax out the intruder. They banged on the hood, shook the car and blew the horn, No luck. "T phoned the police,' said Mrs. Filson, " because 580 many children were crowding around the car. A sergeant arrived, but he couldn't dis- lodge the snake either." With the policeman follow- ing in a squad car, Mrs, Fil- son made her "petrifying" | drive to her garage. At the garage, she jumped out of her car and told her story to two mechanics. "They opened the bonnet (hood)," said Mrs. Filson, "but they couldn't find the snake. They used the flame of a metal cutter to try to burn him out--but nothing happened. "They gave up and from the way they looked at me, I'm afraid they thought I'd been drinking and imagined the whole thing. Then I saw it curled .up--up there where where the heater leads off from the engine." Poking the snake from its hiding place, the mechanics killed it. Police said the reptile was a@ 2-inch-long adder with a striped tail. Adders and vip- ers are Britain's only poison- ous snakes.
