A cage with six men rose at 11 pm when a wall-plate shift left Patrick Holland wedged on a wall-plate fourteen by sixteen inches above the sump. The others feared he had fallen but he stayed alive until rescue lowered him from the narrow perch. The shock of darkness and the shaft’s height tested miners as they handled the fragile rescue.
