Lens, France, March 3o.-Fourteen
OF the /, 200 miners, who were entonfbed
in the coal mines at Corrieres twenty
days ago, were taken from the mine
alive and we'll today. They had lived
on hay found in one of the underground
stables and morsels of food which they
took into the mine with them nearly
three weeks ago All attempts to res
cue the entombed had been abandoned
more than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance of the im-
prisoned men caused stupefcation. A
gang of salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see a group of miners, ter
ribly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear from remote part
of pit No. 2. The strongest Of the
party said they hal broken out of a
distant gallery where they had been EN-
tombed since the disaster OF March 10.
The rescued men were taken up the
elevator but were unable to see owing
to the dazzling daylight. ~ @
1t is said others OF the entombcd
miners are alive and will be brought
out, their signals having been heard.
One Of the men rescued today, a man
named Nemy, said that for the first
eight days the party ate the bark off
the timbering of the mine. Later they
found the decomposed body OF horse
| which they cut up and ate with hay.
