YUZHOU, HENAN –An accident in a central China coal mine killed 21 miners Saturday and left another 16 trapped underground , the government said.
The death toll rose to 26 Sunday morning as rescuers were battling to reach the 11 miners who were still trapped underground, rescue headquarters said.
Rescuers were battling to reach the 11 miners still trapped underground, but chances for them to survive were very slim, said Du Bo, deputy chief of the rescue headquarters.
"Based upon past experience, the remaining 11 miners could be buried in coal dust, so the survival chances are frail," Du said.
More than 2,500 tons of coal dust smothered(厚厚的覆盖) the pit after the gas leak(漏出), which hampered(阻碍) the rescue, said Du.
The gas outburst happened at 6:03 a.m. Saturday when 276 miners were working underground in the mine in Yuzhou City. A total of 239 workers escaped but 21 were found dead and 16 trapped.
An initial(最初的) investigation showed that 173,500 cubic meters of gas leaked out in the accident. Liu Wenbin, a deputy chief engineer of the company that owns the mine, was in the pit(矿井) when the accident happened. He organized the escape.
"At around 6 a.m., I felt there was something wrong with the airflow in the shaft, and one of the team captains told me he also felt it and had already reported the problem," said Liu
The mine is owned by Pingyu Coal & Electric Co. Ltd., a company jointly established by four investors, including Zhong Ping Energy Chemical Group and China Power Investment Corp.

At Harton College—an English boarding school for boys —there are many rules. 15-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them.

The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film, he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.

When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He went round the school building to another door, which was locked too. He looked up at the window of his dormitory on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark, and he could not climb up the wall easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study.

He looked into the room—no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill(窗台)and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then someone turned on a light in the corridor(走廊). Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.

Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He couldn’t move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.

“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed ?” Bob thought.

Mr. Mannering read his book for another hour. Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door.

“Thanks heavens, he didn’t find me under the sofa,” thought Bo .

Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “ Would you turn off the light when you leave ?” He said, and left the study.
