SIX BODIES RECOVERED

They lay in a peaceful attitude near the door. These words were chalked upon a board: "The Lord preserve us!" Then follow the men's names, after which was added: "All trusting in Christ."
Niieteen men were entombed in the Hampstead colliery, Birmingham, in which a fire occurred through the upsetting of candles.
