Rescue Efforts Continue For Trapped Miners In Moose River
In Moose River Nova Scotia two miners remain entombed with one dead and another alive after a week's confinement. Rescue teams report misjudging the chamber location and work to pierce a tomb of living men from two gallery directions. Dr D E Robertson and Charles Scadding await relief as diamond drilling and a tiny microphone line improve surface communication. Porous conditions and hunger add urgency to the near 141 foot level entrapment.
