His escape from death wss almost miraculous. Three of his companions were rescued in the | tunnel and carried out, all painfully but not seriously injured. The men were at work in the forward compartments of the railroad tunnel under the East River, between Brook- Iyn and the Battery, which is to be used eventually to connect the Man- | hattan lines with the Brooklyn subway lines. Two tubes, side by side, are in process of fconstruction Twenty-two men were at work in the tunnel when the accident happen- ed. Creedon and his three companions | were in the forward compartment, working under a high pressure of air. In a compartment back of them thir- | teen other men were at work. This sec- nd compartment was not affected by theeaccident, as there was a bulkhead between them i Creedon was the first to ascertain | that the roof of the tunnel was leaking | and that the air was rushing out into the bottom of the East River, which was about forty feet above them. With sandbags he attempted to plug up the leak, but as he did so the whole roof was blown out and the tremendous force of the compressed air drove Cree- | don out through the hole. The upward rush of air carvied him to the surface j of the river in a twinking and he shot | into the air with great force. Bystand- | ers quickly rescued him from the wa- | ter. He was considerably bruised and | shaken up, but was not dangerously hurt Those who saw the man shoot to the | | curface say that he was blown twenty feet into the air from the level of the | water, and his startling appearance se- verely frightened several Itallan labor- | ers on a near-by pier and they took | to flight. His companions were drag- ged back through the tunnel by work- [ men from the next compartment. ! —_———— | PRICE OF BANK STOCK INCREASES AFTER Investors Not Frightened by the Troubles of a Cincinnati | Concern.
