for some time had filled the cum

all the manholes from 23d streer
up to 45th before they descended
into the fatal one at that point on Sth

up word, after reasonable time,
Foreman Holihan started down the
manhole to find out the reason. He

tried to rescue the two men. But all
efforts were unavailing. Each man
in his turn was overcome and soon

the majority had to be taken to a
hospital. The bodies of the two men
