tides and current and that the stream
shouli be walled up along certain
reaches Of its course 10 prevent the

the fire by attempting to light his torch

around the mouth OF the shaft, where the

large crowd.
There are three ventilating shafts-one

which rapidly filed the mine. Fortunately
every man reached the foot of one Of the
three ventilating shafts and was quickly
