On 14 December, stonemen Stephen McIlwrath and John Sanders, were preparing the face for the coal cutter. They had put in a twelve foot timber baulk, drawn all the props, and then started to clean up. Suddenly, a stone came away from the roof, the thickest part falling on McIlwrath, killing him outright, Sanders was taken out alive but died two days later from a brain haemorrhage.
