a few miles from Cork: While the per sons employed
about the kiln, which is built in the quarry, were en-
deavouring to rekindle it below, for which purpose

suffocating vapour vs hick had begun t) ascend, both
at the same moment fell in! A man, at a snori dis-
tance, who observed the appalling circumstance, im-
mediately gave notice of what had happened ; instant
efforts were used to rescue thear Iron their hen iLle
fate, but before the bodies Lould be got at, about tif•
Been minutes had elapsed, ansi when taken up both
