Details of Event
When a shot-hole charged with Gelignite was being fired, a collier who had ignited the time fuse shouted ‘fire.’ The deceased who was working in the next stall appears to have mistaken the signal and took it be one for help. He reached the place at the moment of the explosion and was instantly killed.
