Collins begged his rescuers not to leave him aline. Tiny pleces of rock, seemingly too small to Infiict pain, fell upon him and brought groans from the captive, Physicians warned against further efforts to pull the caye explorer out by force, asserting that death from rupture probably would resuit. Although worn by paln, loneliness and danger, Collins could live in his chamber two more days, Dr. C. W. Ric¢hards of Glasgow believes. Dr. Richards visited him during the night. A Beautiful Cave Behind and below Floyd Collins ih his prison cave here is an im- mense vaulted chamber, the largest and most beautiful hehas ever seen, Collins told Jewell Estes when Estes discovered his plight Saturday. Resident who know Collins and recall that he discovered Crystal Cave with its marvelous formations of delicate beauty belleve that his news discovery is a wonder cavern. Alone 20 Hours For twenty hours he was alone, the constant drip, drip, drip of wa- ter from melting snow and ice on the surface growing more deadly | monotonous hour by hour, Saturday he was found, and since that time scores of men havé tried in vain to rescue him. Persons all over the country have been trying | to help, too, for many suggestions | | have been received by telegragh— | | but the ingenuity of man has gone ,Ior naught. In the narrow crevice, hardly large enough for a small man to squirm through, the boulder, im- movable, has held Collins while the constant dripping of water has cre- ated a torture chamber such as was known only in ages past. 5 Inches in Four Days For hours men have pecked away at the boulder with cold chisels; Others have tugged at a rope fasten- | ed about the body of the victim. He | | has been moved five inches in four | days. But hopes, stronger than the | jaded bodies of the rescuers, held out today and renewed efforts were being made to pull Collins from his living tomb. Drill Not Used Apparently only the most primi- | tive methods will be successful, if | anything is to be. A compressed air | drill was rushed here from Louis- | ville, but experienced cavemen sald | there was grave danger that the vi- brations would loosen other rock and cause the narrow passage to col- lapse, 8o it was not used. Why conldn’t something be done? That was the question-asked on all sides. Surely there was some way he could have been rescued by this time?2 - Reporter Enters Cave, A staft correspondent of the Louis- ville Courier-Journal anewered the | question early today. In a dispatch to his paper, filed here, the corres- pondent toldl of going into the cave to the imprisoned man. | He said that he was lowered by his | and descended to the end of an 80- foot drop, where he reached fairly level ground. “¥From here I had to sequirm like a snake,” he sald. “Waters covered almost every inch of the ground, and after the first féw feet I was wet through and through. Ivery mo- ment it got colder. Dirty water splashed in my face and numbed my body. Finally, I slid down an eight | foot drop and a moment later saw Collins.” Both Brothers Collapse. He said that Collins' brothers, | Marshall and Homer, had taken oil cloth into the cave to protect their kinsman from the incessantly drip- | ping water. They had done every- thing humanly possible for him, | sparing themselves nothing, until they collapsed from exhaustion.
