Sundstrom, an official of the Maust Coal Coke parent firm of Gauley, said some pockets of water remained in the mine but most of it had been drained.

Sundstrom said federal and state mine inspectors would have to check the pit before it could be reopened. He said he hoped the mine would be back in operation next week. Sundstrom said he expected the rescued 21 miners would return to work. "They are a great crew and a hearty bunch," he said.

Describes Ordeal "Stern discipline kept us alive," said Edward Scarbo, 3S. "We did everything together. First we built the barricade and decided how we would ration the sandwiches." The group had salvaged two lunch buckets with six sandwiches which they made last the first three days.

For the next seven, they ate nothing. Joseph Fitzwater said, "Our worst moment was when they quit drilling a hole to use last Thursday night (May 9). We never heard anything more for two or three days after that. We thought they had stopped rescue operations, but all of us remained level headed." "It was a miracle of God's," Fitzwater said.
