Hope of Rescue Had
Never Died, Men
State on Reaching
Surface

SALEM, KY, Aug. 12.-tPl-All
five miners who were imprisoned by
a cave in at the Hudson mine last
Thursday were brought to the sur
face alive this morning.
Randolph Cabbe was the first man
TO reach the top of the shaft.
The miners weIe greeted with
cheers when they appeared. The
dense throng on the mine property
pressed forward and it was neces-
sary to detail national guardsmen to
restrain the crowds.
The miners said that during the
long vigil underground they had
never given up hope of rescue nor
had any of them become downcast.
They had four matches between
them These they carefully con
served. BY burning the miners
lamps which they had. one at a time,
they were enabled to have light for
long time. Finally darkness fell.
Then they lost all sense Of time,
they said. and waited through the
long black hours.
A daughter of Cobb was at the
mine entrance when her father APP
peared. At the sight Of his face, she
became hysterical and tainted.
James, the miners said, was the
hero of the disaster. Instead Of at
tempting to escape when the cave-in
came. he went hack to warn the other
four men of the calamity.
The men apparently we're suffer

waters would not have been safe it is today had it
been for the constant work of the lighthouse tenders
and particularly the personnel of the Service.
Not only do the tenders render signal service in keep
ing but many the time when the tenders have given
prompt and efficient assistance to ships in Distress The
work of the u L. T. Cedar and of Capt. Leadbetter and
