He had just prepared blast and after
lighting the fuse started to ascend 10 the
surface. AS he did so a spark from the
fuse Ignited q three pound can of pow
der be held IN his hand. which exploded
with terrific force. wrapping him in d
sheet of flames. lacerating the flesh Of
his left hand. scOrching his hair and eye
brows and burning his face fearfully.
The men at the top heard the explosion
and for instant were dazed but he
called to them to haul him up at once.
They quickly raised him part Of the way
when the windlass broke and he fell
back into the well just over the blast
which he had lighted and which
was almost ready to explode. The men
above tore the rope loose and began to
haul him up hand over hand with frantic
haste, but just as he left the ground the
blast went off with terrific force and the
flying rocks struck and bruised him in
every portion of the body.
With wonderful nerve, however, he
hung on the rope. and was finally pulled
to the top more dead than alive. cIinging
to the rope with his lacerated hand and
nearly senseless from the effects Of the
two terrible conclusions in such con-
fined space
He was at once removed to DR.. Carver'5
