Details of Event
A number of shots had been lighted by hot pokers in a sinking pit and the men engaged in doing so got into the ascending bowk, except one, who was killed by the exploding shot holes. There appears to have been some muddle over the signals or delay on the part of deceased after the signal had been given.
