meet the employees of the road as

refuge. AS the shaft head began to
burn four miners nearest the top es-
capped from it to moist place a short
distance down the hillside where they
wallowed in the mud and saved their
lives although severely burned. Angus

shaft, attempted to follow them, the

later on a beam to which Angus had
helped her, while he was knocked down
