| Description | |
|
|
November 5th. Monkwearmouth. Killed by entanglement in the chains that attach to the cage.
Before descending the shaft the men sit down within the tubs, there being three, one above the other, in the cage.
There was a good deal of slack chain belonging to the upper part of the cage, and part of this chain fell off the top and into the tub; a sudden movement took place, and the poor man was strangled in contact with the slack chain. A ledge was ordered to be fitted to the top of the cage, to receive the slack chain, and to prevent the recurrence of such an accident.
