"We came back and we heard the voice again," Rasmila Awal said, her eyes widening at the memory.

The soldiers, having returned as well, resumed digging. And, miracle of miracles, 22 hours after the earthquake, the mother saw a soldier pull her baby out of the debris.

His face was coated with dust. But he was alive.
