debris. and, after 80 hours of incessant
digging, the rescuers were able to con-
verse with Fay and Faber, both of
whom gave directions where to dig
without bringing down more masses
of rock upon the entombed men. Both
men prayed for drink, the dirt hav-
ing clogged their mouths. Both utter
ed words respecting their families in
the event that death should overtake
them. The ability to carry on con-
versation with the two men led to high
hopes that both would escape death,

brought into contact with the cool all
at the surface they collapsed and
death ensued almost Immediately.

the bodies of Evison and Zitz and that
he was unhurt and was free with the
exception of one foot, which had been
caught between two masses of rock
He was positive that his two compan-
ions were killed or smothered soon
after the cavein had occurred, as he
could feel their bodies and they were
cold.

 Though it could not be learned that MT.
