Almost Half Of the Miners Per-

Work Among Entombed--Man
Working Near Mouth Of Shaft
oecapltated BY Force.

Cardiff. Wales.-A disaster, posi-.
bly, the greatest in the history OF
the South Wales coal fields, whose
annals are bristling with terrible
catastrophes, occurred Tuesday
through an explosion In the Univer.
sal Colltery near here.
Shortly after the day shift Of 931
men entered the mine an explosion
shattered the works. About 500 min.
ers were brought to the surface alive
After the rescuing parties began to
get the fire under control, 20 more
men were found alive at the bottom
of the pit. This gave hope that
others may be found, but there Ia
still probability that 400 men per-
ished.
Including the bodies recovered and
those killed at the pit head the
known death roll numbers 16. Doc.
tors with oxygen and medicaments
descended the shaft. A crowd OF
10000 distracted persons surrounded
the pit head all night and another
5000 waited for news at the Cardiff
station.
One hour after the day shift decend-
ed the shafts deafening report
brought the inhabitants Ia the vi.
cinity of the mine running to the
pit head, where they found the ven.
tilating and hosting machinery at
the top OF the shafts had been blown
to atoms by the explosion Of great
violence. A man who had been. work
ing so feet away had been decapi
tated by the force of the blast.
Rescue parties OF miners belonging
to the night shift were soon on the
scene making preparations to ente'
the mine In an endeavor to saw
their comrades. The fiery reputation
OF the mine. however. gave little
hope that any OF those below could
be rescued alive.
An entrance was found by way Oh
an adjacent shaft. On descending the
rescuing parties came across several
groups of men huddled together in
portions OF the mine where the air
was still good. Most of the rescued
men presented pitiabIe appearance
Nearly all were suffering from burns.
shock or the effects of poisonous
gases.
The same pit was the scene OF an
explosion Is yearssago when 120 min
ers lost their lives. Only one OF
those below at that time was rescued
alive.
