Victoria, b. c.. May 1.-The steamer Miowera
Yesterday brought the particulars Of the explosion
in the Drummer colliery near Wellington, New-lea-
land, on March q. 1t Is story OF gloomy horror,
frightened by the heroic deeds of men who praVed
the deadly fredamp in their efforts to rescue their
fellows The cause OF the catastrophe none can
tell The mine was free from fredamp before the
men went to work, and the surmise Is that the ex-
poson caused by sudden inflow OF gas let
loose by the breaking down of coal
or the sixty men entombed not one escaped
death. All twelve were married men, most OF
them with large families and by the death OF the
bread winners go women and children were left
desolate.
Scores of men volunteered to work for the rescue
OF the entombed miners toiling all night to reach
them Around the mouth of the pit stood broken
hearted women and children. pitifully sobbIng and
praying for relatives who, they hoped might De
saved SO powerful were the fumes of the gas that
the men could only work in short shifts Every
now and then a corpse brought to the surface,
along with the half-unconscous rescuers, who mad
almost yielded up their lives in the work of mercy.
As corpse after corpse was brought 10 view the
women and children rushed wildly forward to see II
they could recognize father brother or SON
tTndeterred by the fate OF their comrades, one
shift of rescuers relieved another. overcome by
gas they only waited until they recovered IN tne
fresh air at the surface and then went back 10
work At first ten-minute shifts only could be
worked but later the air cleared somewhat and the
time was extended to hour. An Idea OF the nero
