than 200 miners caught in the York
vile mine by a cave-in at the mine
mouth. escaped through a passage a
mile away. Their wives and children,
believing them dead, had gathered
frantically at the shaft The women
were tearing their hair and screaming
to equally excited men to go to the
rescue.
Then far up hillside the escaping
miners were seen tumbling out of
an old opening like bees from hive.
The jy of the reunion was indescrib-
able. 1t was a marvellous climax to
what a minute before had seemed a
black tragedy without a ray of hope.
