I went up there that morning: and drilled a hole and fired it ; I then returned to the face and barred some coal, then picked away some soft stuff. I went over to my partner and told him I had found the face "dribbling:" out like a squeeze, and would not work in that place. "I am goin^ to g-et down I said." 1 went down to the platform. Then he said, "If we are g-oing- to get any more water it will wash all the coal out." With that the whole face came bursting out and I yelled to my partner to make for the airway. :
