Wfdppeu III militia DldnkeDS the res cued were held, some standing, others carried in arms. "A burst of applause started from the crowd, but a raised hand from a mlitiaman brought si lenee.
 It was a critical moment for the hopes of many. Mothers and wives stretched forth their arms, murmuring Billie" Or Frank or "Oh, Andy, are you there, speak to me; I'm here
 The blankets drawn over the heads of the men hij their faces and pre- vented identification from the crowd. Not receiving a reply the women tore towards the sleeping cars, imploring and begging anyone to give them good news. Overcome by appeals, a res cuer called out the name of the man he was escorting.
 George Eddy" he shouted. We've got George. Eddy here"
 "Oh George came a piercing wo- mans cry from the crowd
 "Is it you? Come here, George. Here I am, waiting for you"
 Eddy, who was mine inspector. was too weak to reply. and could only submit to the escort, who carried him silently to the car
 At the foot of the car steps the crowd was kept back and the women, almost hysterical through joy Or dis appoinment. chung to the hand rails, piteously imploring those inside to let them enter
 A dramatic moment came when Will liam McClelland was brought up. At the news of the disaster a week ago Robert, brother. and also a miner, rushed here from South Wilmington. III. He was informed on arriving that all the entombed men were dead. He offered his help as a rescuer and de- clared he would remain until every body was brought up
 Today he was ii. the rescuing party As the survivors were brought through the gallery to the hoisting shaft, wrapped in blankets, Robert assisted in the cage
 In the first load that went LID was some whom Robert did not recognize because of the blankets. The surviv- ors were put in the sleeping car un. der the care of nurses and doctors and Robert went down the shaft for an- other load He was coming out of the cage again for another load. He was coming out of the cage again when fliend stepped up and tapped him on the shoulder.
 Bob, don't you know that Will is irp?'
 Robert turned pale and staggered. You don't mean"
 Yes, alive; he's up alive! Why, Bob; you brought him up yourself, wrapped in blankets"
 Robert was so overwrought he had to be relieved from rescue work and was himself taken into the sleeping car.
 From survivors who were seen. the highest praise for fortitude and lead. ership is accorded William Clelland. Twice daily Clelland who is a staunch churchman, conducted religious serv- ices. His 1avorite hymn, the words of which even some of the foreigners picked up, parrot like. was Arise My Soul"
 Twice today Clelland's aich Scotch burr arose in the dark cavern with the grand, consoling words:
 Arise my Soul
 Fast falls the eventide.
 The darkness deepens,
 The Lord with me abide"
 Twice daily Clelland likewise deliv- cred a blunt. stout hearted sermon, cheering up the faltering men.
 Keep up your hearts, lads God is with us. Don't give up. Others have been shut off from the light of day as we are and in Gods good time come out alive is the way one of his sermons is quoted.
 The Lord is with us, even here, and great is 5 mercy
 Then followed the Lords Prayer, invariably.
