Hamilton; from Caistor, worked in the quarry filling boxes to be eleâ€" vated to the crusher. Gibbard workâ€" ed alongside of him. Stepped aside to let a box down on the cable, wind must bhave whipped it around, struck Gibbard. It was a wooden box bound by iron and elevated by a cable. Box held a yard of stone. Elevating was worked by steam. As Mr. Pyett gave signal for engineer to let box drop inâ€" to place the wind caught it and swerved it around about 25 or 30 feet and hit Gibbard.. The wind moved the boom of the crane as well as the box. Mr. Comfort was running the derrick. The box struck Gibbard across the back. I was watching the box and not Gibbard . We were 6 or 8 feet apart. When the box fell I looked down, saw it strike him, pass over him and grounded on the other side of him. I helped pick him up. A big stone role ddown on top of him. It was jarred loose by the box striking it. We should have got out of the way farther, but we didn‘t. There was lots of space. The stone was resting with a lot of other stone in a pile about 3 foot high. We got him into a box and hoisted him to the top. He was put on a bed in the quarry mens‘ shanty. Would say the quarry pit was about 50 feet deep. George Spencer and C. May were also down in the quarry.
