"Lost," and on the other side,
"George, one light left. R. S.,
April 14."
Companions Identified
The hunt had been touched off
by a George Pike who said his
lost companions were Ray
Smith, James Mann and John
Wilson, all of Nashville, Term.
An "outside" man who spread
the alarm Thursday had van
ished afterward, and possibly
now was a fourth person lost in
the . five-mile, dual-level lab
rynths of the limestone cavern
15 miles from here. .
Bill Varnedoe, president -of the
Huntsville, Ala., Speleological
Society, sent out a call for a
roundup of other members, say
ing apparently the bona fide note
was found deep in the cave.
Varnedoe and six other so
ciety members had searched
Thursday afternoon' and night,
and were about to give up when
the note was found. ;
