Details of Event
While deceased was walking outbye on a portion of an endless rope haulage road 2.5 miles from the shaft known as the Delaval Brow and which is both steep and narrow but provided with refuge holes as required by the law he appears to have been knocked down and dragged some distance by a full set. The workers have the option of using the return air road as a travelling way.
