" Big drops of perspiration stood on his brow as he realized that the traphe had set for others might close upon himself, and for an instant heresolved to run back and extinguish the lamp.
"It won't do, " he said, half turning and then moving nearer the slope. "There's gas enough in the drift to choke me before I'd get ten yards. Why don't the idiots move faster!" Only the absolute conviction that he would be lynched if caught at sucha time prevented Billings from rushing out.
Each second the v...apor became denser, and he wondered why the miners didnot perceive it.
The catastrophe must be very near at hand, and he was exposed to thegreatest danger.
When it seemed as if an hour had passed, the last man went up the slope, and he started at full speed to gain a higher level.
The incline was almost reached; half a dozen steps more and he would bepartially sheltered by the jutting point of slate.
"Luck is still with me, " he cried, so loud that those above must haveheard him, and at that instant the earth seemed to rock to and fro;there was a flash of blinding light, and the air was filled with flyingfragments.
