MINER RESCUED
Close of Long Ordeal WANTED “MENU CARD” (Rec. December 7, 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, December 6. Fritz Wienthal, the miner who was entombed at Cologne by a fall of coal in the Castrophan Zel mine, has been rescued, perfectly well after 183 hours' entombment Rescuers worked day and night driving a gallery seven feet beneath the blocked gallery, then upwards, thus obviating the danger of a fresh fall crushing the imprisoned man. An earlier message stated that before the rescue the doctor prescribed a liquid diet, which was being supplied to Wienthal through a tube. Wienthal kept asking jestingly through the tube for the menu card. He informed the rescuers that he was catching the liquids in his boots.
