Barry jerked the rope three
times and as the power died

Come on. Jack. Give me a hand.

The two Of them. clawing and

into the tunnel. Barry picked up
the drill again. and when il was

the pile, now that the rock was

it leaped and twisted like some
thing alive.
After a time. Barry was too
weak to hold the drill and relin-
pushed it to Henley. The fore

suicide, pushed forward while his
employer lay on the floor, gasping
for breath, gradually regained his
strength.
Burrowing like some gigantic
wild animal, Barry again took his
turn with the drill The shaft back
of them was nearly blocked with
the rocks and debris they had dug
out. There was a small tunnel,
nearly eight feet long through the
blockade now.
Henley took another turn while
Barry lay down and rested. and

Sweat poured into his eyes and
blinded him, but still he drove the

had dug, who found Gilbert and
his companion, Perkins, stretched
out on the floor.
BY superhuman efforts, Barry
and Henley got them up and into

Barry behind, pushed against his

for volunteers to guide the rescued

insisted on remaining at the bot
tom, until both had been taken to
the surface, and then he collapsed.
Henley had to make another trip
down, fasten a rope under his
arms. and keep him clear of the
sides as willing hands drew him up.
