PITIFUL SCENES.
The scenes are pitiful Men whose cloth
Ing are almost burnt from their bodies
are laid out IS fast as they arrive. their
eyebrows and hair singed, and their faces
black and bleeding. Women and children
surround the building weeping.
A crowd of overzf alous men stand IN
front of the mouth Of the incline waiting
to see who of their friends will next be
brought out alive, Occasionally a shape
less body comes up on the car.
Rescue parties are working, both in
the incline and at the old timber chute
on the hill

Dare and Daniel Davies.
Watt Jones was the chief starter. Dan
lei Davies was son OF the foreman Of
the shift. None of the bodies were at
first recognizable, because the faces Of
the dead men were charred and black
ened beyond recognition. 1t was only
after they were conveyed tc The morgue
and the corpses were washed that 1t
could be told. who they were.

Men went down IN little parties ot two

fast as the deadly damp would allow
progress. Those who were brought to the
surface were muffied In sacking TO pro-

to the top of the incline and carried to
the hospital. There were not many OF
these but the search was continued until
all hope of saving life was at an end.
Many cases of heroism on the part OF
the workers were brought to light Men
would cCntinue until overcome by the
gases. They would be carried 20 the air
to revive and go down again.
There are undoubtedly number under
the fallen rock and earth In different
parts of the mine, but they will not be
recovered for some times I1mberlng
