Details of Event
Deceased, with three other workmen, was engaged in the shaft, taking off broken plates on pump rods. He had occasion to step on to a bunton which gave way under him, and he was precipitated to the bottom, a distance of 113 fathoms. A racking, which kept the bunton in its position had, through some cause unknown, come off.
