An alarm was sounded by the blowing

were down the mine with some others,
looking AFTER pumps, which We're tax
ing up a stream OF water that broke
into the mine a few days before. They
were in the carriage ready to ascend
when they heard the signal bell pulled
u number of times and anticipated
something wrong on the surface. The
flames were fed by the oily woodworks
OF the engine house and they spread
about like flash, Engineer Stanley
Golightly at this point displayed
heroic spirit and one worthy the high
est praise. lie knew that the men
We're In the mine and he staggered
TO the bell through smoke that almost
auffocated him. Holding a haudker-
chief to his face with one hand he
whistled down the hole to the men,
who, fortunately were just ready to be
hoisted.
Golightly then grabbed the throttle,
while the flames eat their way to-
wards him and burned the clothing
from the lower part OF his body and
attacked his flesh. He stuck TO his
throttle. however, fighting the flames
from his body with his hands. until
the last coil was wound about the
drum and the men We're on the sur

fell half smothered, to the ground. The

were adjoining. We're saved, though
the engine house is nearly all destroy

The machinery is also slightly DAM
aged, but it Is able to hoist water. on
Saturday the flow of water which had
broken into the mine was rising II
inches an hour in the lower vein.
1t Is fortunate that the men at the
bottom were so near the cage, as the
stoppage OF the fan with them in
distant part of the workings and no
convenient means Of signalling might
have been followed by most serious
consequences Mr.. Mercur. one Of men
at the bottom, was one OF the three
who fell down shaft at Exeter some
