Details of Event
In drawing out a pair of broken timber with a Sylvester machine at the mouth of a stall road, several others (some of which had been put in recently to double those already there) fell with a quantity of roof. He hesitated about making his escape and unfortunately doubled back into danger instead of getting into to safety.
