Surrounded by Friends
When 1 recovered my senses, some ten
minutes later, I found myself lying near
the manway surrounded by my wife and
children and my rescuers. Restoratives
were applied and I was soon strong
enough 10 get upon nv feet With a
feeling Of dread roreboding I looked to-

when l saw where the -shanty" had
formed was completely covered by
mass Of splinJered rock and coal.
How my rescue nau been effected un-
der such adverse circumstances and in

grew strong enough my brave buddy
BIZ Murphy, told me the whole story.
Most Thrilling Rescue.
It was the most thrilling rescue in the
history OF coal mining. end I certainly
owe my life to the plucky fellows who
took such desperate chances to save a
comrade.
At the last moment, it seems. when
every hope had been abandoned. Muir

mule chain, suddenly noticed a spot in
the pile Of coal that ne thought would
not yield 10 the pressure OF a pick to
such an extent as to cave in the whole
mass AS quick as a fash. the res

the awful message that the continued
picking had weakened The ''shanty'' and
a Niagara OF coal started on it's awful
journey.

form. fastened the chain about my
waist and pulled me from my living
tomb just as the enormous collection OF
coal tumbled on the ''shanty" where
had spent the worst ten hours in my
life.
The horror of it all was so intense
that l was a nervous wreck for a fort
night or more The intrepid men who
aided in my thrilling escape were Su-

and my brave buddy" Bill Murphy I
shall never forget my awful experience,
nor shall 1 ever fail to esteem and
honor the noble band who saved me
from a horrible death.

At the end OF the seventh hour 1 re-
lapsed into a sort Of a trance. Every
thing was bathed in inky darkness, and
the frowning pillar changed its jagged
outlines into all sorts Of fearsome and
grotesque objects ultimately settled back
with a hollow sound and formed the
somber shape Of a coffin.
Fnghtful Mine Disasters.
It was then that my mind began to re-

past I suddenly remembered the hor-
