Colliery Disaster in South Wales

83 MINERS KILLED.

■A- terrible bolliery disaster, resulting -Ir/tble loa« of eighty! three iivep, occurred on May 24th in the South WaUs coal field. The scene of the calamity is a plnce known as Kenghenydd, a compara tively *mail village, *\ unted about fonr miles from Caerphiliy, The colliery «t 'rSich the disaster oc urred \w t the Universal, belonging to a ••''limited' liablity company, of which Sir W T Lewis and Fir Thomas Moral are direr tors, Mr W J Reea being managing director. It ia a steam cal colliery, ' and has t «p>y,bsen : iworking ..>. abyM fivej years A boat half p*ft four o'clock p» Fridaj> ?in#l»i;t%::,, Shei'nJ-ght-Bhif t,\ < totx prising several Imnd.'ed town, bgan to asc«nd t *ftd4tiirtty Mtetffive/Vitludk: all liadoomeap, wi.h the exception of about «ghf|^bn,s wib '■f6tth4&< a .-'half* ihifc/ working overtime, and five day firemen; Aboat ten minatfsjpest five an eiploaidn . occurred. Tbe report was distinctly heard some miles away over the moan lain. The shedding of the shaft at the pithead and the iron structure near it Were blown to pieces, and the upcast and downcast shafts were eerioasly damaged. ATTEMPTS AT »ESOO*K The colliery manager, Mr Edward Shaw, was promptly informed that an explosion had occurred, and he and two workmen attempted to descend the shaft, but failed to reach the bottom. An boor and a half later Mr Philip Jones, manager of the Albion Colliery j Mr Llewelyn, nndfr manager; and Mr T E Morgan, of the Universal Company, succeeded ia - reaching the bottcm. They proceeded a distance of at out twenty yaids, and found that fearful havoc had been caused oy the explosion, and that the place was a complete wreck. Afterdamp corn -piled a retreat. In the meantime hundreds of workmen had gathered around the top of the pit, and farther rpscae parties were organised. About eleven o'clock a party of mining en gineers descended the shaft, and appear to have reached the nine feet heading. A little while afterwards the crowit assembled on the b*nk waiting anxiously tidings from below were cheered by indications of the return of the rescue party. It was seen that some men were being carried upon ambulances, and it transpired that the party who had ho gallantly gone to the rescue of their fellows bad met witb greats obstruction in tbe nature of a fall about thirty yards in length. They made utrenuous endeavours to get over it, and in so doing were caught by the afterdamp, being nnsble to proceed farther. Indeed three of them — namely, Elij ih Tanner, Arthur Essery, and Joe Townshend—-sustained serious injuries, and it was these men who were beiog conveyed on the ambu lances previously referred to a rescuer's SSQRY David Evans, one of the rescae'parfcy who descended the pit immediately after the explosion, said in the course of an interview that on reaching the bottom of thfi shaft thry c«me ncros? the prostrate form of Willi*ra Harris, who was alive, bat uric n^cione; He was terribly burned. At-k«d to d^scrib" the condition of things, Evans said ~~ The first thing we saw was a number of tr»msth»fc h^d been smashed to atom 0, a* d about ten yards away from the bottom of the shaft there was a fall, hot it w»s not a very heavy otiP, and we b»d no difficul'y in climbing oVer it. Going op some distance on the tram line we came to a stall om the east section, sod th- re we saw four liorfief. Two of them wore alive, but ffof o*»b' r two had b^en blown into one stall, when their bodies wi*re tightly wedged, and both were dead. You did not see the remaining men in the pit ? No, We could not get at them be-? eau*e of the foul air, but I rib prac tically certain that they are all dead. They could not possibly live ie such atmosphere. The who'e place ia in a fparful state of wreckage, the bottom of the shaft beins? completely destroyed. ALL HOPE ABANDONED. The work of rescue continued in the vigorous manner, and the bodies were rapidly brought to the surface. The Bcene while the remains were being identified by:'he relatives and friends wis most heartrending. All hope of their being any mose survivors h a been absolutely abandoned, and the death roll Is now placed at eighty-three, William Harris being the only ro^n rescued alite. The bodies whish have been seen presented a fearfully mangled appearance, and their condition shows that the explosion was one of the most severe ever experienced: I
