much longer it might take.
DR.. D. A. Robertson of To-
ronto, speaking to his sobbing
wife over a microphone cir
cult lowered through a narrow tube
into the underground prison, said
he and Alfred Scadding could hold
out against exposure, cold and ris-
ing water in the mine for IL hours
more. The third, Herman B. Magill.
3O-year-old Toronto lawyer, was
dead.
Eddie, Eddie, they're coming"
Mrs. Robertson told him. Hold on,
darling"
You bet, DEAR" he replied from
the tomb in which he had faced
death more than seven DAYS.
Were all right. If they can get
fellow here in 10 or II hours. or
even longer, We'll be okay."
Dig in Dangerous Shaft
Despite the doctors courage and
cheerfulness, every one knew that
1t was a matter of hours.
Hardened coal miners called from
Cumberland County knew it, and
they staked everything, including
their own lives, on clearing a way
through an abandoned sloping
shaft leading into the rnine-a
shaft so dangerous that it was
closed Is years ago.
BY noon the place they were work.
Ing at the head of the shaft was so
low that they had to labor on hands
and knees. Only four men could
work side by side at the front. Piece
by piece, they handed back to those
behind them the rock and debris
that had blocked the shaft for years.
Fear New Cave-Ins
Others chopped down trees and
tore mine buildings apart, using the
t1nbers to bolster up the shaft in
an effort to prevent new cave-ins.
Henderson said the sloping shaft.
called the Reynolds shaft, sis ex-
tremely dangerous for the rescue
squads, but they pay no attention
to our warnings. It's our best bet
now"
Work in the collapsed vertical
shaft was stopped at noon, with 80
feet still to go. Engineers said they
could go no farther there without
blasting, which it was feared might
send tons of rock tumbling down on
the imprisoned men and rescue
workers alike.
Mine officials said an entrance
through the Reynolds shaft should
lead into the mines 80-foot level.
From there they hoped the way
would be clear into the 141-foot
tunnel where Robertson and Scad-
ding waited.
Victims Widow Collapses
Hot brandy and concentrated
soup were lowered to them through
the tube.
Mrs. Magill, who with Mrs.
Robertson had kept a vigil at the
mine entrance for days, was making
bed for her husband in an inn
provised hospital when she was
told of his death. She collapsed.
Rising Water Peril.
DIR. Robertson, able only too wen
to diagnose his own possible fate,
feared he and, Scadding could last
only a few hours longer. Rising
water in the mine added to the
perils of exposure.
How much longer do you think
we'll have to waltz" Scadding plead
ed over the little microphone that
was lowered to them so that they
could conserve their waning energy
by not having to shout up the pipe.

and amateur, found an increased
scope for becoming unlisted members
of dance and symphony orchestras

one huge orchestra in which individual
musicians from coast to coast could
enjoy the thrill of playing with
larger instrumental ensemble than
any one had ever imagined.

for such an orchestra. but it also
presented mechanical and human
problems difficult to solve. At last
La Prade evolved what seemed a
practical way for co-ordinating the
playing of isolated musicians, with an
unseen conductor. He demonstrated
