Rescuers used an iron pipe to feed and communicate with him as they started a parallel shaft, enabling a careful, staged extraction led by Supt. Cone. Hicks emerged to tears, thanking his team and planning a post rescue picnic with cigars and a bath.

Washington Dignified Diplomat Recalled From Service
The figure described as a man of simple tastes enjoyed alating and horseback riding, known for his outdoor pursuits and a large St Bernard. He was a student of affairs with broad knowledge and a manner both dignified and approachable. Concerns arose over negotiations on Newfoundland matters, but he had no role in them. Departure of the Durands will be a loss to Washington’s official and social circles.

An account from The New York Times outlines Sir Mortimer Durand's exit as British ambassador amid a social and diplomatic feud in Washington.
