6 Collins1 Body Sealed Up in Cavern Tomb Crack in Overhanging Cliff Indicates Natural Passages Are Also Being Closed hy Slides. By International News Service. •Rand Cave, Ky., Feb. IS.—To make .sure that Floyd Collins will not be disturbed In his Sand Cave tomb, 75 feet below (lie surface, workers today were sealing the crevice.with cement. This was decided upon after H. T. i 'armli liael, chief of the rescue crew which strove frantically to reach Col lins while he was alive, abandoned plans to set off a huge charge of dyna mite In the rescue shaft. B. Doyle, owner of the farm on which Sand Cave Is located, objected to this pro cedure. While Carmichael and engineers were conferring In regard to the last "cleanup” work to he done around the, scene of the epic struggle to save a human from death, miners, scientists, engineers, surgeons, military men and the scores of others who have assisted In the work, were leaving for their homes In various parts of the coun try. And the nation was fast forget ting the tragedy In this little moun tain village. Meanwhile Floyd Collins sleeps in the tomb he perhaps would' have chosen. There he will sleep forever. Crack in Cliff. Nature, which has sneered and mocked at man's puny efforts to bring him forth, Is taking further steps to seal his mausoleum irre vocably. A great cntek appeared at the base of the cliff which overhangs the en trance to the cave. It Is now six Inches wide and the ground In front <nf the cliff seems to be sinking. ^Composed of treacherous muck, even before the rescue operations started, the underground layers which have been disturbed by the sinking of the shaft and tunnels again are seeking to adjust themselves. It is likely the ground will sink until all the natural passageways have iieen closed. Rescue operations were formally abandoned yesterday. No extensions jbt the shaft or laterals were at tempted. Ends In Fight. "But, please, boys, say It ended In a fight; not a quit," Carmichael asked. "Twenty men would have gone on, even given their lives, If I had said go on." Brief and simple funeral services held on top of the cliff overlooking Btind cave entrance and the pit where ihe rescue fight was waged. Rev. ■C. K. Dickey, pastor of the Horse Cave and Cave City Methodist churches, was in charge of the serv ice, assisted by the Rev. Roy H. Riser of the Glasgow Christian Church. Several hundred folk from the hills and towns around about gathered about the preachers, there was a song by the Cave City combined choirs, reading of scriptures, a ser mon of thanks to the world and the rescuers and Collins was left to sleep In the caverns that he loved and explored in life.

When Jumper the Hare told Peter Rabbit that he had spent the night In the bedroom of Buster Bear, Peter didn’t hesitate to say that he didn’t believe it.

"Fol low me and you will beat Buster Bear.” Now. Peter hadn’t expected th>s The very thought scared him. But he was ashamed to admit It. Peter Is naturally very timid, but privately he had always considered his flic cousin, Jumper the Hare, even more timid. Not for the world would he have ad mitted that he was afraid to go where Jumper dared go. Jumper started off. Peter hesitated a moment and then he followed. Peter knew where Buster Bear’s bedroom was. The nearer he got to It the farther behind Peter dropped. But he didn't get so far behind that he didn’t have Jumper In Bight. He *1111 doubted If Jumper really would enter Buster Bear’s bedroom. But Jumper did. When he reached the entrance he looked hack at Teter end then disappeared Inside. Peter hopped more and mor« slow ly. He did hla best to think of some excuse for not following Jumper Into that bedroom. But he couldn't think of an excuse. No, sir, he couldn't think of a single excuse Outside the entrance he stopped. He was trying to get up courage enough to go In side. Finally Jumper poked his head out.
