TRANSCRIPT

Then I walked a little further up and here was all these men, they had gathered up and the fella's name that run the gang was Tom Wilson. I says to Tom, I says, 'Is your men all here, Tom? Have you lost any?' So he counted them all and I think he said 'Well there's 15,' he said. 'We're a man missing, George, some place.' And the odd part of it was that someone of those 15 or 16 or 18 men had an idea just about where this fella was just before the slide came down and with a little digging, by golly, they uncovered his clothes, brought him out and he never died, he come to life. What a one, and there wasn't a single soul killed! But you could see what a force one of them slides would have when - take that rotary and put it up against the side of a bank like a little box of matches.
