A prayer at life-line shaft

Father Edmond Roman, priest who has been at Hazleton, Pa., mine shaft almost continously for past two weeks while three miners have been trapped 330 feet underground, prays at the six-inch shaft August 26, 1993 which feeds food, air and lines of communication to two of the miners. A giant drill rig was reaming out a second shaft with hopes of bringing up two men soon. Third man is separated and little hope is held for him. (AP Photo)
