Va. Jan. 16.--().— When things looked darkest for the 21 men entombed in\an air lock fol-, lowing an explosion in the Jamison Coul and Coke company mine near here, their uppermost thought was of God and a greater portion of the {18 hours they spent in their unde! gtound prison was devoted to di: cussion, of the Bible and in prayer, This "was revealed by Jonn H { (Jock) MeNeil, 60-year-old comp: sor engineer, who, with Lee Fetty, a ‘foreman, supervised the construction yof the buled: hay barricade to pr tect the little bund from the mine » Which were fatal to 19 of their fellow workmen. The miners were brought out alive late yeste y after virtually all hope had been abandoned for their rescu rescue crew that penetrat- | ed far back from the elevator shaft: found them behind their improvised barricade. Appealed For Divine Aid said MeNeil, who explained that although some of the miners! could hardly understand what the Gihers said, because of the varied nationalties represented, all seemed to comprehend the situation and united when appeals were made for, divine guidance and aid. Originally there were 23 in the group rescued jbut two of them, wl negroes and one a minister, p ed in an attempted dash for the mine shaft soon after the men had taken refuge in the air lock. Before the minister left them, McNeil said, he led in prayer. Afterward McNeil served ay leader, | “When I was down in that little’ dungeon I expressed the intention of reading my Bible more if I ever, got out,” MeNeil said, and added that Fetty and some of the others declar-, ed, “yes, and so am I.” | | Food Equally Divided | MeNeil, a robust man whose ex- } perience and coolness is | generally credited as having been the domin- ating factor in saving the miners,) was said by jone of the rescue group’ to have given his share of the food! to younger men who appeared more in need of it. The lunches of the men were equally divided when they were first entombed, The small sup-! ply of water was carefully guarded’, but not used until one of the num- ber became faint from the impure; air. The sickening man was given a drink as a restorative. None of the 21 men appeared to have suffered greatly from his ex- i perience underground and almost without exception they were able to walk from the top of the elevator to an emergency hospital nearby. Mc- Neil alone fainted, but was quickly revived, whereupon he asked for his pipe. Securing his pipe and a light,| he_went home. Plans for the funerals of the 19 ims of the explosion were being by relatives and friends today. mai THREE BANDITS | ARE EXECUTED, | BY MEXICANS Lives of Two Others Spared!
