It appears that the explosion took place in what is known as the Dennis district of the mine about 2 a.m., when a shift of about 400 to 500 men were downi in the pit. About 200 of these were in an area apart from that in which explosion occurred, and these reached the surface safely. From the first, only faint hopes were entertained for the majority of those remaining below.
Rescute parties were quickly at work in conditions of
great Shanghai danger, since the violence of the pan. explosion had loosened great manses of the roof, which con- tluned to fall in on the main ronds underground,
One of the first bodies brought to the surface. was that of volunteer rescuer.
