forms in their arms.
All night long a CHASTITY process

to the wash-house, where the forms

was carried out, crowds of women

and asking In broken voices for news
of their husbands and fathers.
When dawn broke this morning,
everything was orderly about the
mine.
The women and children stood IN
little knots, weeping quietly while
the miners carried the bodies to the
temporary morgue.
Whether any miners, remaining in
the tunnel, are still alive is problem
