- His duty was to pick up the chains on an endless rope haulage which had been detached from the loaded hutches and were lying between that set of rails close to him and attach them to the empty hutches as required In doing this he failed to notice that the hook end of chain he had attached to hutch had caught another chain which was caught under the rail and when it tightened it was jammed, the hook straightened and freed itself but instead of remaining where he was he attempted to run in-bye and was caught between the hutch and a wall.
