Accident to a Young Women on a Pit Bank The Bank of South Tunnel Pit, Vochriw, was the scene of an accident to a young woman, about 18 years of age, employed there in pushing the trams to and from the mouth of the pit. It appears that the carriage having ascended, the girl, whose name is Dawkins, and resides at 5, Lloyd-street, Dowlais, stepped forward for the purpose of pulling the loaded tram away, but owing to the fan which is used for preventing the descent of the carriage, not being pulled out, the carriage came down upon her leg and fractured the bone. The poor girl, as soon as convenient, was conveyed home on an ambulance stretcher and received surgical aid.
