Larry and John Gitner became lost several thousand feet into Bruce Cave. About 30 hours after the Gitners had entered the cave, a search was started by a "Spelunkers Club" and Larry's fraternity brothers. After 12 hours of searching. the two fellows were found "alive but in poor health." They were given food and water, wrapped in blankets and carried out by stretcher. The evacuation took 6 more hours for a total time underground of 48 hours.
