days ago, We're taken from the mine
alive and well 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 miners were aban-
doned more than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance of the Inn
prisoned men caused stupefaction of 4
gang of salvagers who had just COM
pleted their nights work. They were
startled to see a. group of miners, ter
ribly haggard and exhausted with
eyes sunken, appear from a remote
part of the pit. The strongest of ths
party said they had broken out of a
distant gallery, where they had been
entonIbed since the disaster of March
10. The rescued men were taken up
the elevator, but were unable to see,
owing to the dazzling daylight. The
men talked feebly but sensibly. They
all wished to go home Immediately.
The doctors however, prevented them
with difficulty from so doing. Later
crowds besieged the mines in the hope
of hearing Of further escapes neces-
stating the employment of strong
police force and detachments of troops
to maintain order. 1t is said that 9TH
ers of the entombed miners are alive,
and are about to be brought out, their
signal having been heard. One of the
men rescued today said that for the
first eight days, the party ate the bark
Of the timbering of the mine. Later
they found the decomposed body of a
horse, which they cut UP and ate. The
survivors brought up portions of the
decomposed horse meat.
