A shot-firer was fatally injured at Cambois Colliery, Northumberland. He charged a top canch shot, lit the fuse and took refuge. Thinking it was a misfired shot he returned, followed by a stoneman, without waiting the statutory period of one hour. The charge exploded when he reached the canch. Both men were injured and deceased died later in the day.
