PIT: 5 VICTIMS

Wellingborough.

An epic story of heroism lies behind the death of five men and the partial suffocation of two others in an effluent pit at a Wellingborough tannery recently.

Three men died in an effort, to save two, one gave his life for his brother, also in vain. Two others were overcome, but not fatally.

Finally Sergeant Faram, Northants County Police, went five times into the pit wearing a gas mask and with a rope round his body and brought out a victim on each journey.

The trouble began while two men were cleaning out the pit or tank, which is entered by a 20-rung ladder and at the bottom of which is several feet of sludge.
