Mine Rescue Delayed
(N.Z P-A'Reuter—Copyright) HOMING FALLS, May 10,
Efforts to reach the 15 known survivors of the coalmine disaster at Homing Falls, West Virginia, have been delayed for at least another day because of difficulties in installing a larger pump to clear the water flooding the mine. Ten other miners have not been heard from since Monday, when water from an adjacent abandoned mine rushed into the area in which they were working. A hole from the surface was drilled to the spot where the men- were thought to be but all that was found was water.
