four
o'clock
Cruelly broken and bruised , Young , Bill Dancing , and Glover late that night were brought up in rope cradles by the wrecking derrick and taken into the Brock car , turned by its owner into a hospital . An hour after the fall on the south arête the hill blockade had been broken . With word of the disaster to nerve men already strained to the utmost , effort became superhuman , the impossible was achieved , and the relief train run in on the mine track . Morris Blood , unconscious , was lifted from the narrow shelf at four o'clock and put under a surgeon 's care in time to save his life . To rig a tackle for a three-hundred-foot lift was another matter ; but even while the derrick-car stood idle on the spur waiting for the cable equipment from the mine , a laughing boy of a surgeon from the hospital was lowered with the first of the linemen to the snow-field where the three men roped together had fallen , and surgical aid reached them before sunset . Last to come up , because he still gave the orders , Glover , cushioned and strapped in the tackle , was lifted out of the blackness of the night into the streaming glare of the headlights . Very carefully he was swung down to the mattresses piled on the track , and , before all that looked and waited , a woman knelt and kissed his sunken eyes .
