THE FLOODING OF FERNDALE COLLIERY

The workings at Ferndale Colliery, which were found
to be on fire, have been flooded. The fire occurred in the
dip or extreme end of the workings, where the coal des-
cends at a sharp gradient. It was discovered on the night
after the explosion, but owing to the intense heat, the
volumes of smoke, and the pressure of considerable quanti-
ties of explosive gas, it was impossible to ascertain
whether anything besides the timber props was burning.
A thick wall of turf was built across the entrance to the
heading, in the hope, by cutting off the air, to smother
the fire and render the gas there nonexplosive; but it
would seem that there were numerous interstices which
could not be closed up, and the fire was not smothered, but
continued to Lurn. It was et last determined to flood the
woi king. Nearly 1,000 yards of iron ppes were procured
from Birmingham. Immediately on their arrival they
were put together, and having been connected with large
storage reservoirs, were conducted down the shaft and
al.,ng the undulating floor of the workings to the part
where the fire raged. It was then found to be impossible
to penetrate the turf Avall, as the pace was too hot for
human endurance, and for many yards outside the turf
the place was full of smoke, and the coal so hot that it
could scarcely be touched. The pipe was thereupon
taken to a place where the natural partition of the strata
was thin, and a hole having been bored through this, the
pipe was inserted, and a stream of water instantly dis-
charged into the workings. For many hours this
process was attended with great peril, but by the
exercise of every possible precaution and care, it was
effected without any mishap, and now it may be said that
the danger to be apprehended from this source has passed
away. The bodies of six of the men are in close proximity
to the workings which fired. The explorers were upon
them two or three times, and even touched them, but
could not remain long enough to remove them, in conse-
quence of the intense heat. They cannot now be got out
until the water has done its work and been withdrawn.
In abstracting the water no doubt a considerable efflux of
gas will occur, as there are nooks and crannies to which
the water cannot be carried, but which will fill up with the
gas, and only be freed with the current created by the
outflow of the water. With proper cafe, however, this
may be done without mishap.
