In Search for Buried Victims OF TH'
DAVIS Trench Explosion in Brooklyn.

New York, Nov 22-Confronted by
almost insuperable difficulties, the big
force of workmen engaged in digging
in the Brooklyn sewer trench, where
Is men lost their lives in cave-ln on
Friday last have so far been unable 10
penetrate deep enough into the masses
of debris to get trace of single one
of the victims bodies. Working IN
narrow street, with the route to their
goal so feet below the surface. clogged
with masses of earth. rock and broken
timbers. the rescuers, despite most dill
igent efforts, have made slow progress.
Today they encountered several mas
sive boulders that the big steam crane
in use could not bulge. and these nad
to be blasted away before further pro-
gress could be made.
Late in the day the work progressed
faster and tonight it was hoped that
by tomorrow morning the level where
the bodies lie buried would be reached.
Rushing water and sand, it Is believed,
has cut the excavation even deeper
than it was when the disaster occurred
and there is thought to be little proba-
bi,ity that any bodies will be encoun-
tered until the trench is opened up to
toe very bottom. probably at 6o-toot
level
