SLIF N OAVE RELEASS MY (Continued from First Page) he loft a traln for taster transporta- tion, 8 May Not Be Free Another trip into the cave this afternoon revealed that Collins may have been only partially freed around the feet. Willlam B. Miller, staft correspondent for the Courler Journal coming from the cave short- ly after 12:16 p. m. sald he thought Collins was but ittle better off shim- self but that the wall blocking more effort to reach Collins probably was probably two feet thick. Miller says ho crawled to the wall and yelled to Colling: “Are you free?” “I think so," Colins answered, “How about my milk?" “I left 1t at the side near you on my last trip, can't you get {t?" “No “Then you're not free,” queried, “No.» Miller Brother Becomeg Frantic Homer Collins, brother of the cave victim, also was in the cavern at the time and became greatly ex- cited, Miller sald. Homer Collins in in frantic efforts was causing small stones and earth to fall into thy al- ready narrow. passageway and Miller added that he devoted all his efforts for several moments in an attempt to persuade Homer to leave. * Collins' Own Story “1 was crawling out of Sand Cave, which is the most beautiful I have ever seen, when, soon after ascend- ing a steep wall, I dfslodged a huge rock. It caught my left foot. «That was ten o'clock Friday morning.” Thus begins Floyd Collins' own story of his experiences of the last five days, trapped in a narrow pas- sage far under ground, as told to Willlam Burke Mtller, staff corre- spondent of the Courier-Journal, and published in a copyrighted dis- patch trom Cave City today. Yelled All Night “The first night I spent in yelling at the top of my volce,” he said. “I knew my chance was slim, but 1 couldn’t give up without doing some- thing. So I just shouted and shout- ed. “After a long time I was unable | to call out any more. I got hoarse. I struggled on, though, until I final- ly lost consciousness. 1 don't know. But I felt when 1 awoke. * “‘Surely,’ I thought, ‘No man was ever trapped like this. I prayed as hard as I could. I begged God to send help to me. Finally I heard a voice and it sounded hetter than anything I ever heard. I called back and got an answer, and found it was Jewell Esters. He couldn't get to me, but before long Clyde Hester came back to me. He told me it was Saturday morning. I told Clyde to get word to my brothers, Homer and Marshall, and my father. He left. My brothers game down Saturday afternoon and saw how I was fixed. They tried to dig me out but they couldn't. R Grew Very Weak. “Saturday night I felt better.

I prayed continuously. Some times I would be tn a stupor. I could hear peo- ple coming in, but they seemed far away. 1 could hear volces, but I scould not remember what was said. Sunday night I slept some. I dream- ed of angels and I awoke praying. “Monday was the first day when strangers came back to me. I kept working around, whenever I felt strong enough, thinking I could twist myself free. But each time I could hear pebblés falling into lhe deep hole right behind me. It caus- cd me to shudder.

Loulsville, Feb, 4—Sand Cave, in a narrow passage of which Floyd Collins,, cave ewplorer, has been pil- lorled for flve days, is in a rough section of the country honeycombed with caverns beneath the surface and covered with rock and stubble above ground, Jagged rocks and overhanging branches rim the small mouth of the cave. Great icicles hang from the houlders, adding to the picturesgue- ness, Snow, turned to slush by re- cent rains’ covers the ground in places, The poad from Cave City is a “country road in wet weather." At all timen risky, the dangers of exploring caves were increased by the melting ice and snow flowing down the narrow" passage into the earth’s recesses far under ground. Collins, discoverer of Crystal Cave, in which he was similarly trapped for 46 hours by a boulder, entered the hole Friday morning in search of a covern “more beautiful than any in the region.” He sald he discover- ed it and was making his way out when the boulder, jarred by his foot, perhaps, slipped down and trapped | him, b He was found 24 hours later and Isince that time hundreds have trled {in vain.to resoue.him.. . They. will |were trying today, and will continue to do so until he is brought out allve ~or dead, - Hazardous for an experienced cave man, the rescue workers are in far more peril. Must Go Headfirst To reach Collins, the workers must descend headfirst, a slimy passage more than 125 feet long. At all |times squirming, snakelike, in ooze and muck, cold and penetrating. Until last night the tiny beam of a flashlight or the short rays of the light from an ofl lantern carried by the rescuers were the only means of | penetrating the inky darkness, Elec- tric lights, supplied by a portable plant, were strung in the case Tues- day night. Diagram of Passage A plece of paper with closely parellel,” but irregular lines drawn |from the upper right hand corner |downward toward the left at an an- gle of about 60 degrees to represent some 65 feet; then horizontal for 20 feet, then at an angle of 45 degrees for another 50 feet, ending in a | sheer drop of eight feet, and then at |a reverse angle of 45 degrees to the \right ‘will give some idea of the tor- turous course of the passage, In only one place is the passage wider than the shoulders of a small man, The sgandstone formation adds an- other element of danger. Crum- bling rock, loosened by the seepage from above, might at any moment dump tons of earth into the hole. A misplaced step, such as Collins probably made, might loosen anoth- ed huge boulder, crushing everything under their weight,-or imprisoning all in the crevice. Air Is Damp The alr is damp and murky. So much so that rescuers who dare to remain in the hole for very long at a time are pulled out exhausted. How Collins, down there for five days, has been able to survive it, go one has explained successfully, Telegrams Pour In Cave City, Feb. 4. — Telegrams from all parts of the country con- tinue to pour into Cave City with suggestions for freeing Floyd Collins from his prison in Sand Cave where | he has stffered since Friday when a slab pinioned his f Prayers and |a reward accompanied some of the telegrams, From New York city came this wire: “Expressing you a very small hy- draulic jack with suggestion for us- |ing it. Very light, easily carried. Lifts 10 tons. Should lift boulder.” “I have a man who can free your !brother with a strapper machine,” |telegraphed a man in Blacksburg {8. C. “Get strapper and wire if you want this man to come.” A Chicago newspaper sent the fol- |lowing: “If there is any apparatus in Chicago that will help you liberate vour brother, please notify the jour- nal by return wire, collect, and we will forward it by airplane without expense to you.” | A Topeka, Kansas, physician of- fered to come to Cave City and am- putate Collins' foot without fee if transportation for two persons were provided. “Be courageous, worry,"” saic | | i calm and don't a telegram from Wash- | ington, D. C. “Trust in God and all | will_ be well. You will be delivered.” | ‘“‘Suggest working heavy iron hook with long shank under Collins' foot, said a Schenectady, N. Y., message. “Pull an shank of hook with tackle until foot is torn loose. Pad hook if possible and provide a flat bearing surface.” Another New York message, from Elmira, advised the use of two rail- road jacks so that rescuers could “roll stone off foot.” City Advertisements PROPOSAL FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION.
