GAMBLE WITH DEATH.
RESCUERS AT THE UNIVERSAL MINE.
FAREWELL MESSAGES.
'Times'— 'Sydney Sun' Special Cables. (Received Oct. 22, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 21. It has been learned that when the first rescuers were about to descend into the Universal Colliery, a conference of experts was held to decide the mode of procedure. It was recognised that those descending were risking their lives. The seven men chosen rose from the table and wont to different parts of the-room, where they wrote farewell messages to their nearest and dearest. Three made their wills, knowing they were engaged in a gamble with death.
