Details of Event
He was on top of the quarry working down chalk with a pricker, when the ground beneath his feet gave way and he fell 8 or 10 feet, and then down the mill. There had been a shot in the ground he was standing on, and no doubt this had loosened it to a greater extent than he was aware of.
