driven insane and fought like fiends
against the rescuers. Dazed, listless
survivors were found sitting on cars or
lying ON the floor, careless of whether
they lived OF died. Near the seven
teenth level 20 bodies we're found strewn
over a pile of debris which the men had
striven to surmount before overcome
by the deadly fumes. Some were
scared and blackened by flames, but all
had died crawling toward fresh air. The
IL rescuers, who penetrated this far,
were too weak to bring out body.
For hours the scene at the mouth OF
the level was heart-moving. With
clothes and hair awry. mothers, wives,
sweethearts and children huddled to-
gether. weeping and wrjnging their
hands. Many sat on shattered timbers
blown from the mines mouth, insensi-

frantic pushed to the edge of the gap
and tried to force a way into the slope.
An expert who went almost to the
seventeenth level says the mine cannot
possibly be cleared for a month. 1t IS
feared that men In the lower levels
were torn to pieces by the explosion.
