pervade the assembly. The bodies
as recovered were placed in boxes
on the inside of the mine and several
were brought out together ON pole
car. A number OF miners well
acquainted with the victims were
placed at the entrance for the pur-
pose of identifying bodies, but Of

some heads blown OFF,
others arms and legs torn from
sockets. sill others entrails torn out
entirely. An arm and leg were
found in the main entrance, bat the
body TO which they belonged was

through the crowd as the rescuing

lis midnight meal, when the ex-
,losiOn hurled him into eternity
