RECOVER (Continued from Page One) yards of rock falls.

The crew reported no sound from 70 others still misswas and feared dead. The blast occurred late yesterday in the 135-year-old William Mine outside this grimy town of 20,000 in Cumberland County, northwest England. The government -owned mine extends under the Solway Firth, an arm of the Irish Sea, Throughout the morning the huge winding wheels on the pithead raised the cage with the bodies and a veteran miner in the colliery yard told reporters: "It's hard going and I don't think we have any chance of getting those trapped out alive." 10 Known to be Safe Only 10 in the mine at the time were known to be safe today, Three, suffering severe shock, were taken to hospital but the others volunteered to join the rescuers and stayed below. A report was brought to the surface during the morning that the seat of the explosion had been reached but it was not known immediately what the rescuers found. The latest National Coal Board report said "work is continuing on the fall in the main road.

A good deal of scouring has been found necessary which has slowed down progress meantime." Gas which forced rescue teams to wear oxygen equipment as they burrowed like moles under the dire risk of new roof fall was said to be clearing out it was unlikely the trapped men would 1 have been able to live through the night even if they had survived the blast. They are known to be closer to the explosion sc than the 16 whose bodies, already have been brought to the surface. As groups of rescuers left the pit tired and with drawn faces they declined to talk about the position 1n- der the sea. Wives, sweethearts, brothers and fathers watched grimly from hillocks around the pithead. At one time 2,000 were outside the colliery gates and at dawn some 400 were still there.

Women sobbed continually and men took home others who could, not bear the strain any longer. Whitehaven market stall-keepers and shoppers stood around in groups tightlipped and unsmiling. Survived Previous Blast A number of the trapped men are survivors of the 1941 explosion in the same mine when 12 were killed and 11 injured. An official list of the missing has not yet been issued but it is known a father and his two sons and several fathers and sons are among those entombed. Mrs.

Hugh McCallister learned her husband, father, brothers and a cousin all were killed. Today a brilliant sun shone ironically on the group waiting for the bodies to be brought to the surface. The explosion, the cause of which has not ben determined, let loose near the end of the afternoon shift, apparently about half way along the four-mile workings. Of the 121 men in the blasted drift, 10 were known to have escaped with their lives because they were on the side of the explosion toward the shaft leading to the surface.

977 falls two miles back in the main mine passage. A bulletin, issued shortly before dawn, said the rock barrier had been reduced yards, ventilation had reported been restored and there misswas no sign of fire in the pit. Ambulances Dismissed However, officials dismissed most of the ambulances massed at the pithead, seemingly holding faint hope for further rescues. The restoration of ventilation, ridding the workings of gas pockets, eased somewhat the task of rescue teams picked from a surge of volunteers so numerous that nine out of 10 had to be rejected. The first body brought to the surface on the creaking cage was that of young miner not yet identified.

Four grim-faced men carried the blanket-shrouded corpse through a silent crowd to one of three temmorgues established in the porary pit building. Tea meanwhile was served to waiting wives, sweethearts and mothers of the William Pit miners as the sun came up. The blast was the fourth in British mines since the pits came under public ownership last Jan. 1. The previous three killed 26 men.

Press Association said it was feared that the Whitehaven disaster "will to be one of the worst in reprove cent years." The biggest recent British mine disaster killed 58 men at Stoke-onTrent in 1942. The worst on record caused 439 death at Senthenydd, South Wales, in 1913. Whitehaven has a long history of such occurrences. In 1910, a blast in the Wellington Pit near nere killed 136.
