Wigau ? one of the great coal mines of Great Britain. ? Fire
is raging throughout the iirterior of the mine and hundreds
of miners are doomed. Fire and smoke make rescue im

The scenes about the mouth of the mine are indescrib
able. Thousands of wives, mothers and children are
shreiking their agony in each other's arms and calling
upon God for the aid that is out of the hands of men to
give them. Many have gone raving mad. It is the worst
accident in the history of English Ihiue^.

flood the mine. ^To other plan presents itself. Flooding
the mine will result no less in the death of the men impris
oned in its depths but th? increasing volume of smoke issu
ing from the mouth of the mine warn the authorities that
rescue is impossible from the quarter.
