After Dramatic Rescue
CHICAGO IL'PH-Veteran diver
Frank (Lucky Helling. 55. man-
aged a weak smile following his
4 dramatic rescue from a painful
, trap 75 feet under icy water
Thursday night and said "I
prayed."
Hefling was freed by two fellow
divers and hauled to the surface
after a more than five and one
. half-hour ordeal in a tunnel shaft
ISO feel below ground on Chica
go's South Side.
The husky Hefling, who learned
his skills as a Navy diver during
World War II, was reported in
"pretty good" condition at South

Thousands of persons hurried

death struggle going on in the
water tunnel beneath their feet.
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.
