almost exhausted, when they thought they
had better como up and cool on. TIT
pump being only partly on The CRANE the
men started 10 climb up the incline by
holding on to the cable. Three OF
them succeeded In reaching b l1W
level, but Fogarty was not with them.

said he had staid at ths bottom, and Others
that he had fallen down the incline; they
all seemed to DO crazy with the heat; l
