- Details of Event
- Fall of roof in Big Vein near the entrance to the airway at the Top Heading of the new haulage district on No.1 side of the pit. While alone making his examination before the commencement of the day shift he was caught under the fall probably while trying to get past the place instead of going round on another road. As he did not return at his usual time search was made and he was found completely buried at this point where he had just passed a tram containing timber.
