As the mine was only being worked during daylight it was thought at first that the cage had become caught in the signal line. After a few moments, as the ringing continued, the enginedriver called a couple of the Burface hands, and lowered them down tho shaft to investigate.

He worked until his candle burned out, and, having no matches, wandered about the mine for ten bour 8 trying to find the cage. How he escaped falling down one of the many winaes is a mystery. His mud-stained clothing indicated that he had fallen many times during hie wanderings. DIABETES. ...
