' No one In the world can realize ' what I went through during the nine days I was in llmt well.'" he said in a faint voice with evidences of hoarseness. ' I made myself hoarse by crying ! for help but no one heard my appeal." he said in trying to describe what he did while awaiting rescue or death. "1 thought I was going to die and prayed and prayed for my life to be saved. I suffered terribly when | they lifted me from the well and my: ! body had become very weak.' For the first few Jays he was in j Ihe well Dyson used a pine stick to try to dig holes ami climb out, ot ' " e time getting as near as eight fort, he said. His first words when rescuers! reached him was "1 want water," and ! today he said that the only water he ' was able to get was by sticking out j ids tongue when it rained. "These rain dips tasted good," he said as I he lav on a hod d ihi. write - - . pital today and drank a gloss of wa- ' tor. "I would have given a $100 for J that glass of water last Tuesday." Ho is already graining strength and j has even talked to hospital attaches j about going home, in spite of the fact, that he lost more than 30 pounds in j the well.
