Details of Event
He had drawn a chock and was passing the logs back to his mate, when a large fall of stone took place, burying him. The chock had been set right under a vertical slip, and when the roof weighted the stone came away at it and swept out several props. Every care seems to have been taken by Brown, who was a man of great experience.
