RESCUE AT BATH
YOUNG CHILD FOUND UNDER DEBRIS AFTER BEING ENTOMBED FOR FOUR DAYS. PLACE INDICATED BY CAT. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, April 30. A warden’s solicitude for a cat led to a remarkable rescue after an air raid on Bath. The warden, who was examining debris, noticed a black cat vanish into a hole. He thrust in his arm, hoping to reach the animal, and was amazed to feel his fingers grasped by a tiny hand. A rescue party was summoned, and, after an hour’s feverish work, a seven-year-bld unidentified child was brought out alive, after having been entombed for nearly four days. The child was taken to hospital suffering from shock and loss of memory.
