Underground water gushed into a coal mine owned by Guzhou Weifeng Mining Co Ltd in Pingding County at around 7 pm Wednesday when 76 miners were working. Seventy-one managed to escape and five were trapped inside.

The performance starts at 2pm; call time is 11am for crew, noon for musicians.

With the setting sun sending long shadows loping ahead of them over the smooth hillocks of the downs, they came up with the lagoon; a contentful return home, with appetite brisked up by a ten-mile walk, and plenty of food to satisfy it.

I feel deadly faint, bowed, and humped, as though I were Adam, staggering beneath the piled centuries since Paradise.
