Aupport the roof of the pits, which, taking 
fire, communicated to the cther timbers, and 
an afhort time the whole pit was on fire—at 
Jeaft 40 loads of wood were fuppofed to be in 
the pit. On Sunday three men went down 
anto another pit that had a communication with 
that on fire, but the air-thaft. being entirely 
Ztopt, the foul air, ftagnated by the fmuke, 
immediately fuffocated them; by great exer- 
tions, two were drawn up, one dead. The 
coal-pit, onthe 22nd, #1!) continued burning 
more turioufiy than when it firt broke out,
