men had sought the bodies of their
comrades, and at first they doubted
their senses. AS they stared at each
other voice from beneath the charred
pile, and recognized as that of John

can't see anything. The debris is all
about us. Get us out as quickly as you

Then later: ut is cold here. have

1t was thought that the second mes
sage was from Daniel ]. Campbell, but
this was afterward doubted.
With new energy the fremen re-
doubled their efforts until warned that
oyer-eagerness might defeat their pur-
pose. More cautiously they proceeded,
while Seafert's wife, VINO had been on
the scene since midnight, encouraged
them.
The men were caught between the
timbers about midway between the Sec
ond and third floors. The third man,
Thomas Lennon, apparently was in
stantly killed. His body was located
today after hours of digging. 1t was
buried in tangle Of debris from which
a shattered hand protruded and the
torso was caught in such way that 1t
could not be released until tons Of steel
which held it could be cleared away.
