Details of Event
Fell from the 80 yard landing where the pump works he appears to have gone down in the cage without a light to oil the engine no doubt expecting to find his lamp burning all right at the landing but found that it was extinguished. In all probability he fell away when trying without alight to get from the cage to the cill a distance of 16 to 128 inches presumably he thought that he knew the place so well he would have no difficulty in doing so and that he could then light his lamp.
