18 went into where the bodies were lying & found that one of the bodies was that of Dixon. the first body we came to was that of a Chinaman almost buried in dross [?], he was lying to the right of the level, Dixons body was lying to the left a little further in the body of the other Chinaman was some distance further in, the three bodies were conveyed tto the surface Under the circumstances I think the pre- -cautions taken for the preservation of life & property were right and proper.
