Hefling went down the shaft Thursday morning for the "rou tine" job of repairing cracks in a large water gate separating two tunnels. First his right arm be came pinned in the gate by the water suction. He freed the arm after about three hours only to have his leg jam under the gate, trapping him in a painfully cramped position. In addition, a sleeve of his div ing suit ripped, and 40 - decree water filed the suit to his chin. "I realized this was one lime in my life when I didn't know how I was going to come up." Hef ling said later. "I could have drowned in my own suit. But I was able to keep the water next to me below my chin. Hefling managed to maintain telephone communications with his crew overhead and two other divers, Matt Mercer, 34, and Les lie Fletcher, 29, were sent to his aid when it became apparent he could not free himself. The divers jacked open the gate and Hefling pulled his leg clear at 4:46 p. m., e.s.t., 5 hours and 36 minutes after he first be came caught and more than six hours after he had entered the shaft. The rugged diver, dubbed "Lucky" by fellow workmen after several previous scrapes, was brought up slowly in a "bucket in order to avoid the danger of bends, severe' cramps caused by sudden changes m pressure.
