Captain Robbie, who has arrived from Wainunu, on the island of Vanua Levu, where his plantation is situated not far from the Mount Kasi mine, states that there had been an explosion at the mine owing to a charge being short fused, and that a native workman had been killed and at least one other badly injured. The man who was killed had been the head man over the labour on the captain's plantation, but had left it to take up work on the mine.
