Crushed by a pony |
The shaft was 14 feet in diameter, though parts near the surface and between the meetings were a foot wider. It was fitted with two double decked cages 9 feet 3 inches by 3 feet 6 inches, each carried on six chains coupled to a detaching hook and a steel winding rope four and half inches in circumference.
Men were carried on the lower decks only, both of which were fenced by iron gates which opened outwards.
When the accident happened a terrible bang in the shaft was heard both by the banksman and the onsetter. Lamps and parts of the cages fell into the bottom along with some of the men. The winding engines were quickly stopped and the cages remained suspended on the ropes and the conductors retained their position though they were found to be slack. Seven men had been knocked out of the descending cage and killed, leaving two dead men and five injured inside the cage. The two men in the ascending cage were also inured, though not dangerously.
