aster which imperiled the lives
Of $50 pit men occurred at the Lorraine
pit in the vicinity of the village Of
Gerthe. Many Of the imprisoned men
were rescued, but 1t was feared that
more than 100 had been killed.
Forty bodies had been recovered
and the rescue parties were unable to
enter the gallery in which the fire
damp explosion occurred, where 1t
was believed from SO to 100 men were
still entombed and had almost certain
ly persisted.
A large number of those rescued
were suffering from severe injuries
and it Is expected that many of them
cannot recover.
The rescue department, which did
such good work at the time of the
French disaster at C%ourrieres, near
Lens, on March 10, 1906. when 1890
miners were killed, arrived here, but
vas unable to penetrate the galleries,
owing to the flames and the poisonous
gases.
The wives and families of the min
ers were, gathered around the pit head
all day, but were unable to learn any
details, as the officials of the mine re-
fused information.
