(l1:l4 p. m., Wednesday, E.S.T) today when rescue workers brought Dr. D. E. Robertson, 65 year old Toronto surgeon, to the surface. He was dirty, unshaven, 50 weak he could hardly stand on his feet. But he called out cheerily.
 Here comes Captain Bligh."
 Two minutes later, his living com- panion, Alfred Scadding, was brought to the mouth of the Rey- holds shaft where the rescue work CTS had been working under the most dangerous conditions since early Monday. He was weaker than Robertson, but he grinned and waved at the onlookers.
 They were taken to hospital set up in the one room mine office. The rescue workers - coal and gold miners recruited from the country side, and government officials - suddenly began cheering and many wept. A Salvation Army worker be- gan 6 hymn and the crowd joined in.
 Dead Is Brought Up
 Then more rescuers appeared in the mouth of the shaft. They car ried a blanket-covered stretcher Beneath the blankets was the body of Herman Magill, who was trapped Al feet below the earth's surface with Robertson and Scadding or Easter Sunday, but couldn't endure as much and died a week later.
 The crowd was silent as his body was carried past to room in one of Moose Rivers IS houses.
 At 12:30 a. m. the rescue work CTS overcame the last of their ob- Btacles, (they had tunneled through almost 100 feet of solid rock, slate earth, and finally, steel bars since Monday and broke a narrow hole barely large enough for a man tc crawl through, into the tunnel prison.
 Rescuers, Victims Meet
 Three draegermen, Grained mine rescuers) George Morrell, Jack Simpson, and Trueman Hirschfield forced their bodies through the opening. The lights on their caps broke into deep shadows, gleamed on wet walls.
 Two men were spraWled on the wet, stone flood of ledge of the cavern. Eight feet behind them was a still form-Magill's body.
 One of the men looked up at them grinning through heavy and dirty beard.
 Christ" he exclaimed loudly, "but I am glad to see you"
 That was Robertson.
 Hirschfleld was so overcome that he laughed.
 Doctor, I'm glad to see you" he said.
 The light hurt Scadding's eyes and he kept them closed. but he said cheerily:-
 Its great to see you"
 Both Were Very Weak
 Both were so weak they couldn't stand, nor could they lie comfort ably on the rough, wet lodges. They sat, resting on their elbows. Both were covered with yellow mud and soaked to the skin. Scaddings boots had split and he was suffering from a bad infection (trench feeD.
 Hirschfleld cut Scadding's boots off with his knife. His water logged leather jacket was taken off, then Robertson's, and the rescuers swathed them in their own coats and sweaters.
 All the while Robertson and Scad- ding were talking constantly, fre- quently interrupting one another. Their gayety, at moments, was hys- terical. Dr. Robertson kept exclaim- ing
 "You're the best sight I've ever seen."
 Dr. P. R. Davis, provincial minis ter of health, who had never been in a mine before, came wiggling through the opening on his stomach, and began feeling pulses and count ing respiration. He looked surprised administered stimulants, and woS- dered audibly how the men we've to be carried to the surface.
 Robertson and Scadding laughed.
