insane before the rescuers reach him.
Today he could be heard shouting shrilly
with fear at every fall of rock which
told that the rescue party was making
progress. Toshesky's wife was lowered
into the workings today and conversed
with her husband through the pipe which
has been used 10 convey solid and liquid
foods to the entombed man.
"I am well, Mary" he called to his
wife. How are the children? Tell them
will be home before the end OF the
week" Then he burst into loud sobbIng
and a tumble Of unintelIigible words.
Later he Quilted down and Mrs. Toshesky
was taken from the mine.
Tries to Dig Up.
He became impatient today and started
to dig in the direction of the rescuers,
but was warned to stop, lest he cut the
supply pipe or dislodge a mass of coal
from the roof OF his prison. He has
managed to dig a hole three feet deep
in one Of the side walls, into which he
has been advised TO crawl IL the roof
shows any indication of weakening.
Twenty feet Of solid rock and coal now
separate him from freedom, and as the
rescUers have to work at this barrier
with pick and shovel, being afraid TO
risk the use OF dynamite, progress Is
necessarily very slow. One hundred men
are working in relays, but only one can
get at the breast OF the wall at a time.
Water Impedes Rescuers.
AS result Of the heavy rain of last
night and today the workers were great
ly impeded by water. which poured into
the Inclined tunnel where they are labor
ing. Pumps were installed this after
noon. and since then more headway has
been made. The imprisoned man has
complained of the cold and dampness,
and has been digging at the rock and
coal walls TO keep himself warm. Today
quantity of dry clothing was passed
down through the pipe to him. He said
afteTward that he was now fairly COM
Portable. Quantities OF egg nogg were
passed down during the day in the hope
that the mans nerves might be Quieted
so that he could get some sleep. His
rest has been very irregular since the
rescuers first got within hearing distance
OF him.
