Details of Event
Fall of roof at face. While setting a prop under a thin bed of shale, which had evidently become loosened from the stratum above, a stone 4ft. by 3ft. by 3.5ins ii thickness fell on him and killed him. It would have been better to have taken this stone down than attempting to support it. No.2 Rhondda. Naked lights.
