apparently when the men came there
to eat A fact regarded as significant
was that not a dinner pail remained.
From this II was argued that the men,
unable TO escape when the fire was
discovered, retreated to some extrem-
ity OF the mine. carrying their food
with them.
The recovering Of forty-one bodies
during the day was attended BY some
OF the sadiest scenes of the disaster.

the children were their own.
That they had lived and retained
their faculties for many days before
the black damp crept up on them, was
obvious. but physicians declared every
man had been dead for at least forty
eight hours.
Gruesome tokens Of the futile fight
for life made by the men taken out
were found close beside the bodies.
On the walls Of the shaft had been
fashioned rude wooden pin-wheels,
shaped in the fashion Of ventilating
fans, and intended to bring at least
some current OF air to the lips Of q
dying man. Boards torn from the tim

nailed or tied about the handles Of
the miners picks. These, the men
had turned By hand standing close to
them to get any oxygen stirring by the
movement Of the improvised fans.
