In New York harbor thirty two sandhogs were stranded for more than six hours beneath the Narrows after a broken elevator trapped them 945 feet underground in a 12 foot tunnel. They were unharmed and later brought up by the Danbury Candlewood Park as repairs to a cliff and cable system were completed. The incident prompted officials to offer admission buttons to students and prepare a program for nearly all grammar and high school classes in the area.
