The colliers from all the Works around, gave up working, and came with all possible haste to the spot, to render all the aid they could to secure life, if possible, and find the bodies of their unfortunate fellow-workmen. During Friday night about 50 bodies were brought up.
The damage, through mercy, was confined to the western workings otherwise it would have been still more fearful. The men in the other parts were spared, and safely reached the surface. It is impossible to describe the feelings of women and children at the mouth of the pit, as one after another were brought up.
