1 atEXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—In order to repoto t
or exhaust the various docks and locks in the steam-Yard a,
Keyham, Plymouth, it is necessary that there should boos
variety of underground culverts and pipes. Sem° thrd,
an of a considerable depth below the surface of the hard,
and for tho purpose of adjusting the connexions and keer
ing them in working condition there are several PerPjr
dicular shafts, down which men are occ.asionallt
that duty. On the 15th inst. Boon, the gaentter he
lamplighter of the establishment, who also attends W
water-works, was employed in the circular shaft betirsee,t
the lock entrance and the pumping machine. It is ov `—r
deep, and having occasion to come up, he loft a laboure
below, and had got part of his body out of the shaft.
ugh
his hands being covered with slime, the rope slipped throe
them for 10 or 11 feet, where it broke, and he fell to tult;
bottom. His comrade's arm was injured, but Boon's as le
only was slightly sprained, and he was able to resume 1110
ordinary avocations the next day. Boon's escape is t
more extraordinary from the fact that, in addition to the
depth, in the shaft there are a number of bolt ends all°l
stays sticking out seven inches or more all round its wslls'
