Recovery of Two more Bodies.
(By Electric Telegraph— Copyright ) (Per United Press Association.) (Eeceived March 24, at 9.50 a.m.) Sydney, March 23. The bodies of Heatherington and Green have been recovered. They were buried under extensive falls from the roof, caused by tho explosion. It turns out that there were fifteen in the mine, so ten more have yet to be recovered. The search parties are displaying great gallantry, being driven back time and again by the noxious gases, as well as by the smoke from the fires, which the Inspector Btates are confined to a small area. Carbon monoxide has been detected, and the Government has sent up a number of white mice, these creatures being extremely sensitive to the smallest percentage of " white damp " in the atmosphere.
