| Description | |
|
|
Between six and seven o'clock in the morning, and explosion of fire damp occurred about two miles within the pit at Whitley colliery, near North Shields, by which Mr. Clavering, the under-viewer, and Wm. Study, overman, were severely injured — the former so much that he expired the following day. Happily the explosion was not very extensive, or many lives might have been sacrificed, as above 120 men and boys were at work in the pit at the time.
