" What are we to understand by this 1 That the men ' s' lives having were dear had at to the put price his , hand and Lord into his Dudley pocket is to for be so condoled large a with sum at or that his Lordship is to be extolled for having rescued his , workmen at any pecuniary sacrifice 1 Although we should be glad to hear any further details of the fearful catastrophe which could shed fresh lustre on the heroism lives of the — gallant to rescue men their who comrades staked , even we do more not care than to , £ 25 hear , 000— of their the part which the Earl of Dudley played in the tragedy .
