THE WELSH MINING DISASTER
300 BODIES RECOVERED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 18. Three hundred bodies have now been recovered from the Senghenydd mine, and the exploring parties have concluded their search. Everywhere they found evidence of the struggle the victims made to escape. It was heartrending to see the dead lying together in groups with the coats closely wrapped over their mouths and heads, endeavoring to bide themselves from the fearful after-damp. The commotion must have been terrible, and the excitement agonising. Even to-day for a workman to walk in and carry out a body is in itself an heroic achievement. The food the. victims carried was uneaten in overy case, indicating speedy deaths from suffocation.
