was scarcely possible that any one could
be surviving, after such fearful duration
OF agonizing suspense, the most OF the
victims being badly, if not fatally injured,
and exposed 10 the destructive influences
OF fire, water, and foul sutlocating al
mosphere, and the crushing weigh, Of
hope so long deferred. 1t seemed to be
all a miracle how young Tindale could
hold oH' SO molly aud s, well, aud
the exeruons of those above him were re-
doubled. Stick after stick the charred and
heavy tlmbers were removed, and the
heated bricks thrown aside, while coffee
and other refreshments, were from time
to time passed in, TO support The brave lad,
who for over ten long and awful hours,
had so nobly borne up against the terrors
Of his situation.
For the last hour or two the brother of
the sufferer had remained as near him as
he could possibly get, tor the purpose of
cheering him with his presence and voice;
and il was truly necessary, since, as the
night wore on, he seemed 10 sink and lose
the buoyancy which had sustained him so
long.
About nine o'clock il was asceriained
that he was mainly held down by large
bar Of iron, which rested diagonaly a.
cross him, that he could only move his left
arm, and turn his head slightly The
rubbish had been sufficiently removed so
that his head and upper portion Of his
body was visible, and renewed hopes were
entertained of his speedy release. All
O'Clock it was proposed to cut oil the bar
and some efforts were made TO effect it.
Meanwhile the poor fellow was alternately
the victim Of dependency and Ultimate
rescue.-ln one of his despairing moments
he told those above and around him that he
did rot think they could save him. II
shall be-" said he ''the third one killed by
this ailairn L had been kept from his
knowledge that the fatality had been so ex-
tensive."1
About one o'clock this morning the bar
was finally lifted from him, when il was
ascertained that another large bar or shaft
of iron confined his lower imbsl Tin

growing feeble.

"Pull mo out" he exclaimed, if you "draw
my leg off," "keep up your courage my

was the cheering response, and again were
the exertions put forth with increased Wig.
or. His hand was found 10 be scorched
badly, and bandages were applied, and ev-
cry other means used to make him COM /
Portable as possible. He partook OF some
food, and for short time seemed more
cheerful and confident. The fire in The .
neighborhood of his person had been most.
ly exlinguished, and by the aid Of numer.
GUS torches the work progressed with all
the rapidity consistent with caution.
AT 4 o'clock the last obstacle to the re.
lease Of the boy Tindale, was removed.
and amid the shouts Of his gallant deliver.
ers he was lifted from the terrible pit in
which more than twenty horrible hours he
had endured carly death in its worst form.

WEDNESDAY, 10 o'clock.
We are pa he'd to announce the doath of
the heroic Tindale. lie was taken from
the ruins this morning at three o'clock, and
every effort made TO preserve his life. He
fell into sort of troubled sleep whom put
in bed, after wildly excaming, stake me
out" oh take me out" There appeared
10 be no external or internal injury suffi.
cient to produce death, but the exposure
10 cold and heat, and the intense nervous
excitement brought on by his perilous po.
sition during twenty hours, doubtless
caused his death, which occurred about 8
o'clock this morning. His father contin-
led by him during his confinement among
he ruins, administering comfort and en-.
to the poor little fellow, and
giving such food as could be conveyed to
him IN his dreadful situation.
