With
these
two
men
she
ran
to
another
half-a-mile
further
,
and
with
that
one
to
another
,
while
they
ran
elsewhere
.
Then
a
horse
was
found
;
and
she
got
another
man
to
ride
for
life
or
death
to
the
railroad
,
and
send
a
message
to
Louisa
,
which
she
wrote
and
gave
him
.
By
this
time
a
whole
village
was
up
:
and
windlasses
,
ropes
,
poles
,
candles
,
lanterns
,
all
things
necessary
,
were
fast
collecting
and
being
brought
into
one
place
,
to
be
carried
to
the
Old
Hell
Shaft
.
It
seemed
now
hours
and
hours
since
she
had
left
the
lost
man
lying
in
the
grave
where
he
had
been
buried
alive
.
She
could
not
bear
to
remain
away
from
it
any
longer
--
it
was
like
deserting
him
--
and
she
hurried
swiftly
back
,
accompanied
by
half-a-dozen
labourers
,
including
the
drunken
man
whom
the
news
had
sobered
,
and
who
was
the
best
man
of
all
.
When
they
came
to
the
Old
Hell
Shaft
,
they
found
it
as
lonely
as
she
had
left
it
.
The
men
called
and
listened
as
she
had
done
,
and
examined
the
edge
of
the
chasm
,
and
settled
how
it
had
happened
,
and
then
sat
down
to
wait
until
the
implements
they
wanted
should
come
up
.
Every
sound
of
insects
in
the
air
,
every
stirring
of
the
leaves
,
every
whisper
among
these
men
,
made
Sissy
tremble
,
for
she
thought
it
was
a
cry
at
the
bottom
of
the
pit
.
But
the
wind
blew
idly
over
it
,
and
no
sound
arose
to
the
surface
,
and
they
sat
upon
the
grass
,
waiting
and
waiting
.
After
they
had
waited
some
time
,
straggling
people
who
had
heard
of
the
accident
began
to
come
up
;
then
the
real
help
of
implements
began
to
arrive
.
In
the
midst
of
this
,
Rachael
returned
;
and
with
her
party
there
was
a
surgeon
,
who
brought
some
wine
and
medicines
.
But
,
the
expectation
among
the
people
that
the
man
would
be
found
alive
was
very
slight
indeed
.
There
being
now
people
enough
present
to
impede
the
work
,
the
sobered
man
put
himself
at
the
head
of
the
rest
,
or
was
put
there
by
the
general
consent
,
and
made
a
large
ring
round
the
Old
Hell
Shaft
,
and
appointed
men
to
keep
it
.
Besides
such
volunteers
as
were
accepted
to
work
,
only
Sissy
and
Rachael
were
at
first
permitted
within
this
ring
;
but
,
later
in
the
day
,
when
the
message
brought
an
express
from
Coketown
,
Mr.
Gradgrind
and
Louisa
,
and
Mr.
Bounderby
,
and
the
whelp
,
were
also
there
.
The
sun
was
four
hours
lower
than
when
Sissy
and
Rachael
had
first
sat
down
upon
the
grass
,
before
a
means
of
enabling
two
men
to
descend
securely
was
rigged
with
poles
and
ropes
.
Difficulties
had
arisen
in
the
construction
of
this
machine
,
simple
as
it
was
;
requisites
had
been
found
wanting
,
and
messages
had
had
to
go
and
return
.
It
was
five
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
of
the
bright
autumnal
Sunday
,
before
a
candle
was
sent
down
to
try
the
air
,
while
three
or
four
rough
faces
stood
crowded
close
together
,
attentively
watching
it
:
the
man
at
the
windlass
lowering
as
they
were
told
.
The
candle
was
brought
up
again
,
feebly
burning
,
and
then
some
water
was
cast
in
.
Then
the
bucket
was
hooked
on
;
and
the
sobered
man
and
another
got
in
with
lights
,
giving
the
word
'
Lower
away
!
'
As
the
rope
went
out
,
tight
and
strained
,
and
the
windlass
creaked
,
there
was
not
a
breath
among
the
one
or
two
hundred
men
and
women
looking
on
,
that
came
as
it
was
wont
to
come
.
The
signal
was
given
and
the
windlass
stopped
,
with
abundant
rope
to
spare
.
Apparently
so
long
an
interval
ensued
with
the
men
at
the
windlass
standing
idle
,
that
some
women
shrieked
that
another
accident
had
happened
!
But
the
surgeon
who
held
the
watch
,
declared
five
minutes
not
to
have
elapsed
yet
,
and
sternly
admonished
them
to
keep
silence
.
He
had
not
well
done
speaking
,
when
the
windlass
was
reversed
and
worked
again
.
Practised
eyes
knew
that
it
did
not
go
as
heavily
as
it
would
if
both
workmen
had
been
coming
up
,
and
that
only
one
was
returning
.
The
rope
came
in
tight
and
strained
;
and
ring
after
ring
was
coiled
upon
the
barrel
of
the
windlass
,
and
all
eyes
were
fastened
on
the
pit
.
The
sobered
man
was
brought
up
and
leaped
out
briskly
on
the
grass
.
There
was
an
universal
cry
of
'
Alive
or
dead
?
'
and
then
a
deep
,
profound
hush
.
When
he
said
'
Alive
!
'
a
great
shout
arose
and
many
eyes
had
tears
in
them
.
