Details of Event
Deceased was employed principally as signaller. After signalling an empty cage away, he rushed across it to get to other side of the bottom, but was caught between the cage and doorheads as the cage lifted, was carried an unknown distance up the shaft, and fell back into the cage seat through a wooden grating, and to a seam 12 fathoms below.
