Read the first installment here: Melvin White and Rollin Hurt's caving adventure, 1870s (part 1) By Jim When we left the young explorers Rollin Hurt and Melvin White last week, they, lost in the depths of a cave a few miles outside of Columbia and tired, hungry, and without benefit of light, had fallen into an exhausted sleep, and were "dream[ing] of home and mother." As wrote Dr. U.L. Taylor, the chronicler of this adventure, "...worry and distress were wearing their lives away." When the prisoners waked from their sleep, it was still dark. It took them some time to remember their whereabouts and appreciate fully their situation. They did not have a wash, nor eat breakfast. They held a brief consultation, and in a little while commenced their search for an outlet to the outer world. They did not know how long they had slept; they did not know whether it was night or day, morning or evening - it was all the same to them.
