This the drillers endeavored to clean out. but their effort was too rigid for the charge entact down below and another explosion took place lifting the ponderous drill 150 feet where it became bridged but not before the drillers shoots and spectators unceremoniously made an exit 1 through the siding of the derrick and not seeking a door. Fortunately , that none were hurt and all were i united in proclaiming, 1 am truly glad that I yet am here. The work in recovering the drill is so far ( fruitless.
