"EPIC OF CANADIAN IIIBTOIIY"

OTTAWA. April 24. — lC.P.) — Rescue of D1‘. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scading of 'I‘orollto from the caved-in Moose River gold mine “will remain for all time an epic of Canadian history." Prime Minister Mackenzie Kllig said in the House of Colnnioils today as he announced the government was considering some recognition of the rescuers.

Conservative l./:adcr Bennett ask- ed Mr. King if Parliament could take some steps to mark its approb- ation of the mllmit work of the res- cuers and Mr. King replied the gov- ernment was considering the mat- ll‘I'.

Had he been ill the House yester- day. Ml’. King sold. he would have spoken of it bllt as he was out of the city he sent a telegram expres- sing what he was sure were the feelings of all Members of Parlia- ment on learning of the rescue. They were feelings of joy, relief and thlinkfuinerr. at the saving of the two lives. of profound sympathy for Mrs. Hermon Magill in the loss of her husband and of hlsh ndmlra- tion for the heroic work of those who effected the rescue.

Mr. King doubted if all classes of people throughout Canada had ever been as united in their hopes. aspir- ations and prayers as they had been in the days of suspense preceding the rescue

THE TELL-'I‘AI.E SMOKE

The wisps of smoke that came up through the crevices the day after the crash and the following day, were from fires they lit at the 141-foot level. It was these puffs of smoke from woodfirc that convinced resciiors the three were still alive.

Magili died in the arms of Dr. Robertson. The 30-year-old bar- rister and part owner of the mine was suffering from pneumonia.

final blows that took his life.

Inquest into i. Toronto law- ycrsdeath had been adjourned.

The three men would have been taken out dead if it had not been for Dr. Robe-rLson’s medical advice.

The doctor would not permit them to sleep longer than an hour or so at a time and then the three liiiddled together to preserve the warmth of their bodies. '

Old timers who believed the three would never be found alive said it would be the cold that would ‘ike their lives.

Very few laymen have any con- ception of the coldness and damp- ness of a. cavern so far below ground.

Magill died 24 hours after the diamond drill broke through to the shaft.

A red and yellow flare dropped through the tube late ~3atunlay nlght- frightened" them. They thought they had exploded dynam- ite left underground.

when a. shrill steam whistle sounded from the end of the tube. they knew communication had been established. They rushed over and frantically tapped on the-‘ pipe line. It was this sound of tapping that told excited surface workers at least that the three men lived below. The voices from the depths confirmed this, I few minutes later.

Magill Too Ill to worry

Magill was mo ill to worry about the chances of rescue. He did not talk to his wife although Mrs. Ma- gill listening at the surface at first believed she had been talking to her husband. He did not want her to know he was in serious condi- tion. Dr. Robertson sent his voice through the tube instead. Scaddlrig spoke quite often too.

Last Monday morning Magili sat up suddenly, spoke incohereritly and in two mhiutes was dead. .

Bcadding is suffering from "trench feet." Dr, Robertson has a slight cold but it will be safe enough to remove him in Halifax tomorrow, doctors believe.

When he walked into the little mine‘s office. he had diagnosed his case perfectly.

Jokingiy he asked for a good meal of beefsteak. Then he agreed with physicians that two men starving for ten days should have fruit» sugar. and other energy re- storatlves. They are the essence of pears and peaches. sybeck toast saturated with butter, something to chew.

The two. separated by ii hallway. still talked back and forth, voices showing strength, lolig after they were "rescued. Their vitality os- toundcd attendants.

"In a few days it will Just be big enough for a rabbit to pass through." Minister: of Mines Mich- ael Dlvyev said yesterday, as he was rating his first full meal in mlllly hours.

It has already sagged six and eight ll‘iCh(’S in places and when Dr. Robertson crawled through to the entrance early yesterday morn- lllk. he had to pass through an 18-inch hole at times.

OTTAWA, April 24.—The Postm- flce Department had an operatinl profit of $3.000.000 iii the year end- in in March. Postmaster-Ociiernl Eliott reported to the House of Commons today. Not revenue total- led $32,507,400.

The Postofflce Department is charged nothing for its buildings which are erected by the Public Works Department. The Postmas- ter-Genersl. replyingto A. A.

At the 881110 time. the practice had been followed since Confederation and he agreed one department should do all the building. Perhaps some system of rentals could be worked out but it might be difficult.

"It is ii question for Parliament to decide." added Mi. Elliott.
