A corps of six doctors, twelve nurses and Red Cross workers remained at the portal throughout the day. In the mine, the crew of car No. 2 of the United States bureau of mines assisted rescuers and directed in first aid to the victims who had been overcome by gas and smoke. The rescuers passed through the workings as hurriedly as possible, searching only for the living. The dead were found scattered throughout the main slope, but their bodies were not touched until 9 oclock Wednesday night, when the task of bringing them to the surface began, after hopes were abandoned of finding any more men alive. Indications were that those who had survived had taken shelter in Tooms off the passageways through whldh the smoke and gas from the explosion swept, and either had lain on the floor or bratticed off areas which were kept free from gas. Scores apparently had thrown down their tools and rushed from the rooms only to be lhet by almost death as the wave of gas enveloped them.

As rapidly as they were brought to the surface they were taken to the morgue, where they were identified and preparations made for burial.
