 Street Commissioner George E. Eel lows, whe was there at the time, directed the work of rescue, and the rest of the men in the gang made the dirt fly as they dug to release their comrades. The Polander was soon free. but it took longer to release Christopher, who begged the men to work fast. as his breath was being squeezed out by two big rocks that he could feel pressing about his chest.
 When he had been released he wanted to 20 back to work after short rest, but Street Commissioner Fellows told him to take the rest of the day off to get over his bruises.
 Christopher told enc of his fellow workmen that this is the second close call he has had, as he was run over by a heavy auto truck in New London about year ago with only slight injuries. He hopes the third will be a long way off for he is fearful that it may be worse than the other two.
