Details of Event
The ventilating brattice was taken down to allow of a pump being lowered in a dook, thus short-circuiting the air. The overman and men with him then went to have some food, and on returning ignited some gas, which had accumulated, with their naked light. Bryce died on 24th. September at 9.30 a.m.
