. CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 7. lP)
All operations in tne shaft being sunk
down to Sand cave where Floyd Col
lins has been entombed eight days
were temporarily suspended at 2:10
p. m. to permit three men to re-enter
Sand cave. t ' f
The purpose of the new cave expe
dition wnss three-fold. Directora of the
rescue work wished to know what ef
fect, it any, the sinking of the shaft
may nave had on the floor of tbe
cave, which scaled Collins from the
outside world, when it rose Friday;
the location of the shaft was to be
verified from below and a search for
a new passageway was to be made.
Work Is Dangerous
As soon as the expedition reached
a point within tbe cave, near where
the shaft was thought to be, opera
tions on the surface were to be re
sumed so that observations could be
made while actual work was under
way in the mine.
Tbe work was considered extremely
dangerous and volunteers were re
vested. Koy Anderson, a surveyor,
Lieutenant Ben. Wells of the Ken
tucky national gur.rd and a boy nnmed j
Ford offered their services. The three
were tied together with rope and
were to go as fur within'thc cave as
they were aide to penetrate without
getting directly underneath the shaft.
Children's Sight Gained
'
Operation is Successful
Bricks are 'Beautiful'
DENVER. Colo., Feb. 7 The com-
monplace things of life yesterday be
came a source of wonder to two cliil
dren recently operated on in an ef
fort to restore tJicir sight, when, for
the first time in their lives, Peter
Morrison and t Viola Emour, gazed
about them and saw saw the blue of
the sky, the wonders of the city park
too and even went into raptures over
the warm color of bricks.
The children, two of the 11 from
the Colorado home for blind and denf.
at Colorado Springs, who underwent
eptieal operations, were driven about
the city, able for the first time to
stand the strong light of day on their
newly awakened and sensitive eyes.
"Would you mind if I ask a great
many questions?" Viola asked.
"Everything is so strange so so
beautiful."
''Bricks, bricks," the hoy once
shouted. "IVrirks - why, I knew the
shape of them; I knew how a brick
felt but look at the color look at
the color of them.'
As the automobile in which Uiey
were driven about rounded the first
corner, Viola heiried her head in her
arms. Then she raised her head. "It's
all right I can't see, because my
eyes are so full of tears. TheyVe not
ehy tears they're happy tears, and
I'll never cry again."
"Iwrely houses, mostly of bricks."
the boy kept murmuring. "Lovely,
lovely bricks the color of them."
. Lakes, trees, street cars, people,
bouses, grass and shrubs, all came :n
for their share of the delighted atten
tion. It was a great day for two chil
dren and grown persons, blase city
folk, fell under the spell and saw
beauty growing in the city streets
where it never Jind been seen bo-fore.

Brother In Crevice
Meanwhile Homer Collins, the vic
tim's brother and a party of news
paper men entered a crevice To feet
from the entrance to Sand cave,
where other explorations had been
made in an effort to find another
passage. Thirty feet within, llumcr
reported that he had come to E break
wh-'re the channel turned oft. Follow
ing this passage with a lantern as his
only light, he came upon a step-off
of undetermined depth.
Afraid to proceed further, Homer
Collins said he kicked a small rock
into the crevice and heard it pitter
patter into dnrknesB farther than be
could see. Homer then turned around
and made his way out for a flashlight
and some rope, determined to mnke a
more extensive exploration of this
passageway.
