A man named Edwards, living on the Black Lead, was crossing the lower part of the lead towards the French Stores, when he stepped into a shaft, which fortunately was not very deep but sufficient to prevent him reaching the top. A man passing nearby heard his call and assisted him from his confinement. He was not seriously injured but badly bruised.

As shepherds on the many frontage leads they get their wits sharpened in many ways. I know one kinchen who has learned to speak French pretty fluently while a shepherd on the Black Lead with a party of Frenchmen.
