Will Be Brought to Surface as Soon as Rescue Workers
Can Roll Away Big Boulder Roof of
Cavern Caves in Revealing
Entombed Man.
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 16. Floyd Collins was reached,
found dead at 2:45 this afternoon, it was officially announced
after rescuers had penetrated into what they believed was the
original Sand Cave cavern where Collins was caught. No medi
cal examination was made as it was impossible for a physician
to reach th victim.
H. T. Carmichael was the first man to go to Collins. He
said that apparently he was dead.
The announcement of the finding of Collins was made by
Dr. W. D. Funkhouser, geologist of the University of Kentucky.
Preparations were made immediately for Major Moses and
Captain Francis, medical officers of the 149th infantry Bowling
Careen and Dr. William Hazlett,
Mr. Carmichael and M. E. S. Posey, executive secretary of
the state highway department, personal representative of Gov
ernor William J. Fields, were to .accompany the physicians to
Collins.
Homer Collins, brother of the entombed man was at the
mouth of the shaft. He had been there the greater part of the
day.
Guards stood about the mouth of the shaft with bayonets
fixed, and there was little commotion on the surface. An of
ficial statement was promised within a few minutes.
It was reported by the workman that the rodf of the
cavern over Collins gave way, causing them to reach him several
hours before they had expected.
No estimate was given as to how soon Collins could be
extricated from the natural rock vise which trapped him Jan
uary 30.
When the miners crashed through into the passage leading
to Collins, H. T. Carmichael, rescue director, went down the
shaft into the cave, where he said he saw Collins lying appar
ently dead. He returned to the surface and announced the
end of the struggle.
Homer Collins, who had made heroic efforts to save his
brother Floyd, bore up well when Dr. Funkhouser made the
first announcement.
"I have never really hoped to see Floyd alive after the
first slide in Sand Cave, Homer said to newsDaoermen.
At 3:40 p.
m. no oniciai report
had been made, however.
