| Description: | Rolling, dull in contrast and imagery Rescue workers back their way through the stony entrance to a 200-foot coal shaft, saving the lives of two out of four miners entombed in the pit for three days. The survivors' companions are found dead from poisonous gasses. As they carry out the survivors the crowd applauds their rescue. | |
