O'Clock in the afternoon until 10
that night, when the first rescuers
reached him.
BY dawn today the rescuers, work
ing two at time in the cramped
quarters OF the we'll had removed
sufficient sand and debris to entirely
free Easton's head. shoulders and
upper body. The boy appeared to be
fairly strong and he smoked and
drank black coffee necessarily. FSe-
quently he told the workers how to
dig to free his lower body and limbs
But the vet sands slipped back into
place as fast as they were removed
Numbed by Cold.
At o'clock this afternoon IL was
seen that Easton must be freed i'm
mediately or he would die in the pit.
The cold. Of which he had COM
planned previously, seemed to the
prisoner TO grow less intense. He
was getting too numbed to feel It,
DR.. Shipley made a trip into the pit
AS much sand as possible was dug
from around the imprisoned limbs.
the victim was given a strong hypo-
beneath his arm pits
Four strong men seized the rope
and at the signal. pulled. Easton
cried once for them to stop. but a
second later his feet were free and
his last plea was:
Don't stop; pull. for Gods sake"
The catastrophe of the day before
was narrowly averted at the moment
of the final tug. The sandy walls of
the well, which threatened to slide
momentarily, actually did give away
again and buried Easton almost com
pletely. Richard Borritz. a close friend
of the victim, was in the pit. how
ever. and in an instant had cleared
the loose gravel from the mans body
Works Nine Hours.
Borritz had been working in the
cold pit for nine hours without either
food Or drink. refusing to come up
until his friend could come, too"
Borritz's fidelity nearly cost him his
own life and he. too, needed stimu-

Easton from his tomb. He was soon
revived. however. and was able to 60
kcme. happy in the belief that his
friend was safe.
Hot blankets waited at the mouth
of the well, and Easton was wrapped
in them and rushed into the house.
A hot bed. made up on the dining
room table, so that the surgeons
could also use it as an operating
table if necessary, also was ready.
Two doctors were there to help DIR.
Shipley. and the specialists made the
trip from Baltimore in recbrd time.
But the sleep that Easton had been
fighting for hours soon overcame him
in the comfort of the Bassford home.
He never awakened.
Solace Of Rescuers.
The only solace the rescuers find
tonight is that they left nothing un-
possible Efforts were even made to
tunnel under the well and remove the
boy by that route when the sands
continued to slip in the other open
ing. The Maryland state roads COM
mission hurried special tunneling ma
chinery to the scene, and the house
of correction supplied it's huskiest
laborers. But this tack had to be
abandoned abruptly when the work
ing of the machinery threatened to
cause another collapse of the pits

The only chance to save Easton was
to remove twenty tons of sand by

exhausted themselves. They worked
