Despite a strong smell of coal gas, Green descended the shaft and at the bottom, where he was obliged to put his cap in his mouth to avoid being overcome by the fumes, discovered a youth in an unconscious condition. Workmen who had arrived lowered a rope which the constable tied round the youth and the latter was hauled into safety. A second man then crawled from a tunnel into the shaft and collapsed, whereupon the constable assisted in his rescue before ascending to the surface. He then administered an emetic to the youth and applied artificial respiration for about twenty minutes."
