the blast as the flames spouted fro i
the slope, n purs were being made
v\ ith the expectation that coal pro-

Up the tipple broke loose, dropping
SCO fe< t down the incline and the inv

Eighty-two of the 475 men in the
mTne were killed outright by the ex-
plosion, or asphyxiated by the after
damp, and of the 60 burned or over-
come by gas, two died a few hours
