In the tunnel. while eight other mem

Another death was added TO the long
list, one or the rescuing party losing
his life in the tunnel. The fire was
due to an overheated boiler smoke
stack. The boiler exploded soon after
the flames broke out. The crib Itself
was of pine timber. The men. who
were asleep In their hunks. sprang up
to find themselves in the midst of the
