 Brother Leads Rescucrs
 Homer Collins, grief stricken and worn by exposure, led another res cue party 30 feet into the marrow opening of the cave at 2:SO o'clock this morning, declaring I'm going in there and get him." After more than five hours of chipping fiinty limestone by the aid of gasoline torches, several of the party again appeared at the surface, wet and grimy, asking for more gasoline and lights.
 Around the mouth Of the cavo scores of persons stood in soggy mud, awaiting a call for whatever need might develop. but unable to do more than cheer the volunteer rescuers, who when they reached the outside world, grabbed sand wiches and a cup of boiling coffee and returned underground.
 A big fire roared near the en- trance. As the rain ceased, cheer less men found little consolation in the weather change, asserting that melting snow and rain already fallen continually driped into the mole-like hole where the imprisoned man lay. Collins was able to use his hands, said a special despatch to the Louis- vile Times, and took some food at s o'clock.
 Blocks on Rescuers
 The imprisoned man himself blocks the best efforts of his rescu- CTS. He was trapped from behind while crawling toward the entrance of the cave. All efforts to free him must be made by men who work facing him. hampered by the small passage which Collins himself near iy blocks.
 Nearly half the distance between Collins and the cave entrance is a narrow passageway through which rescuers crawl head foremost. e..

Brother of Victim Of- fers $500 To Sur geon Who Will Thus Release Prisoner Pin- toned By, Huge Boul- der On Foot.
Man Has Been Held Pros- trate Prisoner Since Friday-Water Rising in Cave Threatens Life as His Strength Ebbs.

Cave City, Ky, Feb. 2.-In one of the crooked little crevices of Sand Cave, three feet from the entrance, Floyd Collins, 35 years old. has lain pinioned by a huge boulder since Friday morning.
 A squad of men, bringing a port able drill, was to leave Louisville to- day. A truck was here, ready to transport the equipment to the cave, six miles away. With this drill the rescuers hoped to cut away enough of the stone to release the victim.
 Directing Workers
 His. strength slowly ebbing, Collins devoted his conscious moments to directing the workers, who for more than forty hours, have been chip ping tiny flakes from the huge rock in a futile effort to release him.
 Handicapped by lack of tools and by the narrow passage. the rescuers have made littel headway, but kept unceasingly at their task. Water, dipping in from the ice-covered cliffs added 10 the discomfort of Collins, and the men who had squirmed through the crevice to take him food and to do what little else they could for him.
 Rewards Offered
 Collins brothers, Marshall and Homer, themselves experienced cave men, have worked necessarily since their brother was entombed. In desperation, yesterday they offered a $500 reward to any one who would reacse him dead or alive. The workers needed no prospect of re- ward, however, for everything possi- bie had been done. Every experi- ment had been tried. only to fail: every suggestion had been consider ed, but none proved helpful.
 Found 24 Hours Later
 Ever since Collins plight was dis covered 24 hours after the accident, scores of persons have stood ready, but helpless around the mouth of the cave. Singly and in pairs, volun- teers would go Into the cavern, make their way through the tortuous channel down to Collins. a drop of 80 feet. They would work until. numbed by the cold, their places were taken by others.
 Sand Cave is five miles from the new entrance to Mammoth Cave and Is is region of many unexpiored caves and subterranean passages. Collins had gone into the, cave Fri . day morning to explore it and was making his way out when the boulder fell on his foot.
 Caught Once Before
 While exploring Crystal Cave two years ago, Collins was entombed by a falling boulder. He was rescued after 4S hours.
