MEN ESCAPE FROM
A LIVING TOMB
REMARKABLE SEQUEL TO RE
CENT MINE DISASTER AT
CoURRIEREs, FRANCE.
Thirteen Men Snatched from Jaws Of
Death After Twenty Days Of SUI
fering in Ruined Mine-Lived on
Hay and Horse Meat.

Lens, France, March 31.-The dis
aster at the Courrieres coal mines had
startling, sequel Friday when 10
miners were taken out alive after
having endured unspeakable horrors
during 20 days of entombment. The
story of the survivors so far as it has
been told discloses that they lived for
many days on hay, bark and putrid
horse meat amid total darkness and In
the stencil from scores of decaying
corpses. The presence Of human flesh
would speedily have forced the starv-
ing men to resort to the last desperate
extremity if they had not been res
cued. The survivors were sturdy
young miners from IL to 25 years of
age except their leader, Henri Nemy,
who is SO years old All show the ter
rible effects of their experiences, being
emaciated, exhausted and blinded
Their rescue caused temporary nerv-
Gus lucidity during which they greeted
their relatives and graphically related
their sufferings. The doctors then en-
forced quiet upon them, fearing the
results of fever and poisoning from
their having eaten decayed horse
flesh
Touching Scenes.
There were touching scenes as
wives and mothers greeted those whom
they had long given up as dead.
Crowds besieged the hospitals to which
the men were taken, cheering the
survivors and imprecating the inef-
fective nature of the salvage work that
followed Immediately after the disas-
ter. The rescue of these 10 men re-
vived the hope in many families that
others whose bodies have not been re-
covered DANGEROUSLY demanded that
efforts be redoubled to bring out any
possible survivors. There is a report
that in addition to the 13 men who
were brought up out of the mine Fri
day there were five others who came
with them almost to the bottom of the
pit, but were unable to come further
on account Of exhaustion.
The total number of men missing
after the catastrophe was 1912. The
bodies recovered approximately num-
bered 500, and there are still unac-
counted for approximately 700.
