He said he wandered around from one
working to another, but all the time got
further away from the opening. He had
well-filled dinner pail. and for the first four
days ate sparingly of the contents.
When the food was all gone he drank tea
for the next two days.
The other days he ate scraps of bread
that had been thrown away by miners
Yesterday he gave up all hope of getting
out alive. but night coming on he saw a
light carried by an employe in the dis
lance.
He knew then he was on a. roadway and
erawled along In hts weakened condition

DRY DOCK MOVES SLOWLY,
The Dewey and Conveys Reported
twenty-five Miles Out.

NORFOLK. Va, December 29-Captain
Lane OF the steamer Alabama, which ar
rived here today from Baltimore, reports
having passed OF Point Lookout. just north
OF the Potomac river and about twenty
nye miles south Of Solomon's Island, at I
o CLOCK this morning, the floating dry dock
Dewey. which started from Solomon's Is
land at 2:05 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
her long voyage, in tow for the Philippine
Islanda
Captain Lane reports that the weather
was very thick when he passed the Dewey
ana the eoilieis which are towing hsr. and
Snat. being unable to see either the Dewey
or eoNaers. he was only able to tell that
he was passing the expedition by the
whistles of the towing vessels.
According to Captain Lanes report the
Dewey had only travelled some twenty-five
miles in eleven hours She has over four
teen thousand miles to travel, and at the
rate OF two miles an hour 1t will take her
upward OF nine months to make the voy-
age. with smooth weather. Should severe
weather be encountered at sea It Is calcu-
lated there would be long delays by tho
probability Of the Dewey being blown out
OF her course
The Dewey when passed by the Alabama
was about eighty miles north Of the Vir-
ginfa Capes, and providing she does not
stop in Hampton roads or lower Chesa-
peake bay 1t Is estimated that she will
lass out to sea some time Sunday morning.
A wireless telegraph message received at
the United States weather bureau in this
city at 1890 o'clock this afternoon from the
United States collier Glacier, one Of the
vessels which has the Dewey In tow, stated
that the dry dock was expected to pass
out the Virginia capes about IL o'clock to-
night. The message did not give the loca-
ton in Chesapeake bay of the Dewey at the
time it was sent. The fact that the Dewey
will pass out the capes tonight, however
indicates that she Is making much faster
time than at first
A telegram received by wireless at the
Washington navy yard today from the dry
dock Dewey, now on her way to the Phil
tppines, was as follows:
Smiths Point. Va. Ten to o'clock fog:
progress SLOW"
The officers here think 1t sure that bet
ter time win be made by the dock when It
reaches the open sea and longer tow lines
can be used.
