COFFIN
A 400-year-old stone coffin in the crypt of Christ Church, Spital- delds, is now the home of Michael O'Connor,
End a London East labourer.
He was blasted from his own home three months ago and since then he has spent his nights reading, cating and sleeping in the coffin.
"And very comfortable it is, too," he said.
Every morning, except Sun. days, when he has a "lier in,” Michael is awakened by his wife with a cup of tea, Then off to work to put up with such wisecracks from his friends as "Hullo, Mike. Back from the dead again?"
The O'Connors, with their fif- teen-year-old
madc son, have their corner of the crypt as home- like as possible.
Mrs. O'Connor-"I don't fancy the coffin much"-sleeps on the floor with her son while Michael snores serenely in his strange bed.
Strange At First
Michael, an old soldier, said: "I've slept in worse places. It's a bit draughty, but otherwise it's quite comfortable, There's plenty of room to move around. Į
"The first couple of nights I felt a bit strange and kept waking up, but I've got used to it now, and I, sleep like a top. I feel safer down here than I do in a surface shelter and I hope to stop here until after the war."
There are two other stone coffins. in the crypt, but so far nobody has felt like removing the heavy lids and sleeping in them.
