Contact Made Early Sunday

Definite contact with the im- prisoned men was established shu:tly after midnight by tapping signals on the pipe driven through the five-inch diamond drill hole to the level where they were caught. “Hello," the rescue miners shout- ed down the communication pipe. "Hello," came back the faint voice of Alfred Scadding. He told the miners at the surface all three men were alive and well.

Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Magill, almost too overcome with joy to speak. talked briefly with the men in the underground cavern.

"Hello, Ijlcrm, hello," Mrs. Magill said, tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Robertson had her turn. calling down the line: “Eddie, Eddie, you there?" Receiving an answer, in the form of a. question as to how she was, she said “Al- right_ Keep up your courage." Turning to the dirt-covered min- ers, she caused them to shuffle their feet and look embarrassed as she said, "Oh, men, you are won- dcrfu1."

Had Given Up All lldpe

Smiling through her tears, Mrs. Magill added: "Dcsn‘t it seem too wonderful to be true?" Mrs. Rob- ertson said shc had given up all hope just the night. before.

"We can keep them alive for six montlm if necessary," W. H. Han- ningan, a member of the crew who arrived here from the McIntyre Mine in Porcupine, 0nt., assured the two women.

As Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Ma- giil broke down and wept with joy. advice of a physician was sought immediately as to what supplies should be lowered to the three men.

Word was sent down the line by officials directing the rcscuc.

“Alf, Herb, Dr. Robertson. Thank God you are safe. Write on the re- verse side of this sheet. I tinder- stand you are in the East Meagher slope. How far cast? Where is the water? Make a mark now and note how fast it is rushing. Work you‘: way as far east as you can if the walls are good and try to get me back idea how I can get you out. How far have you to go down in the cast and how far east is the shaft? We are only 20 feet above you in vertical line shaft. We are sinking a shaft down over the 141 foot. level, we are also trying to get into east end of Mcagher slope with another shaft. Will have you up in two days. Keep up courage. Over: 100 men working to get you up and government, giving every aid. Tell the doctor and Magill love and kisses from Mrs. Maglll and Mrs. Robertson.

Unable to Aid

But, the three cntombed men were unable to give any directions to the rescue workers as to where drilling operations would be most successful.

Leaning eagerly over the pipe- line for the first indication the three men were alive. mine man- ager Henderson sent up a about of Joy and turning to his weary. vol- unteer workers. said "I'm depend- ingonyoutogetthemcutri

Water seeping Down

Scaddlng shouted an explanation up the line shortly after that they were having difficulty in reaching the tube because of water about the pipe and seeping down it made it. difficult for them to get at the container without. getting wet, He added they stood well back from the pip.--line and shouted to the miners it the surface, avoiding the water while carrying on communl. cations.

Bcadding said the three had not. heard any blasting operations be- ing carried on by the men on the surface. It was agreed the three men could start communications at any time by tapping on the plpg. line and a signal from the steam whistle at. the surface would mean they were wanted by officials di. recting the rescue work.

Work on the vertical shaft was progressing favorably. chief engln- cer Bill Bell of New Glasgow, N, 5,, said. The men were waiting for a dynamite charge to be set off be. fore entering it again. There wag 30 feet of solid rock in be penetrat- ed before the men could be reached. A dare-devil crew of Stellarton draegermen went back into the old Reynolds shaft.

entombed men and part owner of the mine, was as active in his pro- fession in the black depths under- ground as he had been for years. Given up for dead. the three told the world they lived early today through a pipe-line lowered. after I diamond drill had broken through. For a tense few hours there had been no word from below, but when a steam whistle was dropped down dim voices were heard. Then they became audible, and Dr. Robertson was caning for medical supplies to counteract. ailments resulting from a long period without food and water.

To get to the pipe-line. they had to go through water that would mean pneumonia to the eabened men. and after obtaining the first food and medical supplies, the doc- for told anxious rescue workers above not to summon them un- necessarily because of that danger. "Herman B. Magill, a war veteran and not in good physical condition when he entered the mine last Sunday night on a tour of inspec- tion, was already ill. Dr. Robert- son and Alfred Bcaddlng, the third victim of the cave-in, did all -the talking through the pipe-line. Unable to assist the miners in their efforts to break through to the 141-foot level, the three r:- turned to a dry cavern where they had existed for a week in darkness and without sustenance.

“Dr. Robertson will use his bean all right. He is the right man in the right place." Walter smith. one of the drill operators remarked. “There is nobody I'd sooner be in a similar position with than Dr. Robertson. He is so cool." replied R. J. Ivey of London.
