Four men were members of the Speluncean Society, an organisation of amateurs who explored caves. In May 4299, they were in a position far from the entrance to the cave when a landslide occurred. The entrance of the cave was blocked by heavy boulders and the men were unable to leave. They settled near the obstructed entrance of the cave to wait for a rescue party.
