CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. II.
-(By the Associated Press
The limestone roof of
Floyd Collins cavern was
reached at the base of the
rescue tunnel early today at
the As foot stage and amy minute
the diggers expect to find a crevice
or cavern which can be opened suf-
nciently for the rescuers to work
their way down to Collins, p~inioned
in a rock wise at the loot Of Sand
Cave
At 10 O'Clock this morning Collins
had been under ground thirteen days,
had not been fed for eight days. and
his voice was last heard a week
ago.
Anplification tests across the cleo
trio light wires leading down to him
had convinced physicians here that
.breathing sounds were being trans
mitted by the juggling of the carbon
lamp on Collins chest. These tests
failed to record anything yesterday,
hut the physicians and radio experts
refused 10 admit that this would in
dictate he was dead. They believed
only that the light had burned out,
or fallen from its socket.
The down draft in the rescue shaft
became stronger this morning, nerv-
ing the weary diggers to fresh ell
forts. The return late last night of
