   29 November 1853
   
   Colliery accident - 5 lives lost - A dreadful accident occurred on Tuesday morning at Cowdenbeath Colliery, near Dunfermline - five men having been precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, a depth of 36 fathoms. Three of the number were killed on the spot, a 4th died on Wednesday morning, and the recovery of the 5th is perfectly hopeless. The accident occurred in consequence of the breaking of the rope, and though the cage was on the patent safety principle, the spring seems to have been out of order, as it seems never to have caught the guides. Two of the sufferers have left families. [Herald 3rd December 1853]
   
   The late colliery accident at Dunfermline - The investigation into the Cowdenbeath accident has resulted, it is said, in a discovery that the rope had been cut. This, however, seems to be disbelieved by the public as far as any malicious cutting is concerned, and we observe placards posted calling a meeting of the colliers of Fife to be held at Crossgates on Monday first, to consider the best means for preventing a repetition of these fearful accidents. [Scotsman 24 December 1853]
