The fourth fatality occurred at Hazelrigg Colliery on September 28, and was due to a mistake on the part of the engineman. The deceased was engaged on a scaffold in the pit, and the engineman lowered the kibble on to him, under the impression that he had received the proper signal. No such signal had, however, as stated by other witnesses, been given.
