The unfortunate man went down stairs to look at something and as he failed to return, Mr. Wm Ferrier went down to locate him and found him lying under a shaft, his clothes having been caught on a set of screws.
He was slightly bruised on the temples. He was not working in the basement, and was only gone about fifteen minutes from the time Mr Allan last saw him. He was engaged running the chopper when he left to go down to the basement.
