(CP) -- Hugh Guthro, 31-year-old coal inet, said from a hospital bed wrsday he and his 11 buddies 3 when they knew rescuers vdre coming for them Guthro, twice spared death in ne accidents, told his wife to home and rest rather than v any longer with him at All ! ots Hospital. He told of six trapped 13,000 feet from the wad of No. 2 colliery. 'he 12 men who returned from mine where life was counted prayed, sang hymns and man- ed the odd joke during their .ghtmare. With less than an hour's sleep juring the six-day underground ordeal Guthro took 40 minutes to alk about his second escape from + battered ¢oal mine. He was -apped three days in neighboring Jo. 4 colliery in 1956 before res- cuers reached him BURIED TO HIS CHEST When the upheaval occurred last Thursday Guthro said the men near him were tossed up against the ceiling. He remained conscious and knew miners were dying along the coal wall. He was buried up to the chest. Others helped him out. Elect Officers | "At first we tried to dig our own way out but soon we got so weak we had to stop. We had no food and no water since Sunday or Monday. The last thing we are were a few crusts of bread. "We rationed our lights and cut some batteries off the dead men but on Monday we were in dark- ness. I'd say Caleb Rushton kept us going." Rushton, 35, perhaps the strong- est of the group when rescuers arrived, sang hymns to the oth- ers JUST SAT IT OUT Guthro said there was no gas jn their tomb and fresh air seeped in. 'We just sat during the last three days." Joe McDonald, who suffered a broken leg, was not with the oth- ers, Guthro said. They crawled up to him and dragged him down, Guthro said the bare-faced min- ers, who conduct rescue opera tions without respirators, "did a great thing." Miner Mort Hunter was the first man to appear in the hole the rescuers burrowed through. "We were all so happy to see them, the whole bunch of us just started to ery," Guthro said. "I'm done with ceal mining You come out of it twice and that's enough. I'm not trying for Ia third time." sr ---- { Of Blue Ray ES MRS. CHARLES H.
