WORKMEN ARE CAUGHT
LIKE RATS IN A TUNNEL
Laborers Working Under Hudson River
Are Engulfed in Mud and Water.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-Twelve men
have had a desperate fight for life in
the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel, now
being dug under the Hudson river.
They were at work in the Hoboken
end, where without warning the water
and loose earth began to rush through
the shield, and In few moments 200
feet of mud had caved in.
Owen Mcconnell was buried alive
under the river bottom. Two other Ia
borers were taken out unconscious.
The big tunnel, which is to cross I'M
der the Hudson to New York, is already
advanced 700 feet, and work is being
pushed with night and day shifts. The
twelve men were working in the air
pressure tank, behind the great shield
which squeezes out the mud ahead of it
like a giant sieve, when suddenly the
earth became loosened and a gush of
water followed
The prevailing air pressure at the
time was only twice the normal. The
only thing to be done to stop the cave
in and save the lives of twelve men
was to instantly increase the pressure
to hold back the water.
Forty pounds was thrown immedi-
ately upon the men struggling in the
rapidly rising mud and water. McCon-
nell could not get away. The others
were dragged to safety, but two faint
ed under the strain and were carried
out in time to save their lives.
