The last | cut on the drift was made at 11;12 o'clock and no sooner was the seg- ment of debris removed.and the way left open than Hicks began to scrape away the rocks and earth and crawl toward the opening. While working on a tunnel that was building by the Edison Power com- pany near \Bakersfield on Dec. .7, the vertical walls of a deep cut fell In on Hicks and five fellow' workmen. It was first thought that all had perished under Jhe hundreds of tons of rock and earth. Three days later .a lapping on the iron rail of the little tramway running through the drift gave the* first Intima- tion that a man still: alive'was burled beneath the debris. ., ,,,.... A 70-foot pipe, two inches in diame- ter, was immediately forced through the debris. It .reached the spot where Hicks was entombed. A Tieavy dirt car had become wedged In the debris in such a way .as to keep the Immense weight from crushing him. When Hieks pulled the wood of the plug from the iron pipe and called to the men above him.his voice sounded like that of one from the grave. Through the pipe the men working on top learned from.Hieks that for several hours after the cave-in he had talked with his companions, Jbtit that they h£.d become silent and he be- lieved they were dead.

Every day ga\ Ions'of milk were poured down th» .pipe to keep him alive.\It wis tBoHgf* at first, that his rescue would at the moat be\ only a matter of a few days but as tha work progressed it was see-. that the task was a much mbre. dts cuit one than was anticipated. In a narrow space under the car 'thefe was just room for Hicks to lie down. His -prison did 'not Sllow of the slightest freedom of movement and for days the man lay pubis back, not dar- ing to-rabv.ejiest- he might disturb the car. overhead arid bring down upon himself' an avalanche of dirt that would: mean- -his death.
