 SUDDEN DOCK COLLAPSE

The work of rescue was begun soon after the collapse sud three men were taken out alive The bodies of some of the dead were recovered. Late tonight four men, still living, were pinned In the debris in the trench. The incoming tide made the work of rescue very diff flcult.
 At midnight the rescuers were still busy with their work.
 Conversations were being held with few of the imprisoned men with the aid of speaking tubes. and stimulants and cigarettes were passed down to them; but there was little hope of rescuing the victims because the removal of the debris that was pinning them down was likely to cause further falls of earth and beams.
 Up to midnight Il persons had been extricated dead or injured and 1t was believed there are still 16 bodies under the debris.
