FLAMES STILL RAGE

CARDIFF, Wales, Oct. 14.-Four
hundred and eighteen miners were en-
tombed today when an explosion set
fire to the Universal colliery, causing
the worst disaster of it's kind Wales
has ever known. Eight hours after the
flames broke out the men were still
prisoners in the burning colliery and
homes had been abandoned for their
delivery.
Surrounding the flaming pit mouth
Is a valley walled in by mountains
where the frantic families of the i'm
prisoned men were held back by hun
dreds of constables. on the mountain
top were thousands of others watching
the tragic scene below them.
So violent was the defamation that
the country for miles around was sha-
ken as though by an earthquake and
ed that all the entombed men had been
burned to death or been blown to bits.
Blast Shakes Cardiff.
Shortly after 9 o'clock not long after
the day shift had been sent down in
the pit, the blast occurred Cardiff
trembled from the shock, fire followed
the explosion and smoke rolled from
the mouth of the mine. A rescue squad
was formed and started into the mine
after the flames had died down. They
reported tint the shaft gearing had
been destroyed.
The connections between the fans
and the interior of the pit were blown
asunder, cutting off the supply of frest
air. Other pumps were rugged up, how
ever, to furnish fresh air and blow GU,
the poisonous fumes.
Soon the work of carrying out the
survivors began. Many of them wer,
unconscious. Some had their clothing
blown Off
Ready to Sacrifice.
Families of the miners rushed to tn,
mouth of the pit, frantic in their grie
and anxiety and determined to sacri
fee their own lives, if necessary in al
ed in the shaft.
Hundreds of other persons, led b.
curiosity OF the desire to give aid
clustered about the pit mouth.
Special trains and automobiles bear
ing rescue apparatus, medical sup
plies, doctors and nurses, sped to thu
scene. A first aid hospital and tenn
porary morgue were erected side b.
side not far from the shaft opening.
Hold Back Relatives.
The excitement grew to such ex
tent that hundreds of constables wer
placed on duty about the head of tn
mine. Lines were formed to keep tn
grief stricken relatives of the penne'
up miners from danger. The voices O
hundreds of women and children lift
ed up in lamentations, mingled wit
the shouts of the police and the leaG
ers of the rescue squads.
When the call was given for volur
teers to enter the mine at risk of thei
own lives. hundreds of miners dashe
forward and begged to be allowed t
join in the relief work. Only the stron
est and most experienced were che
