N2  - In a saw-mill a rapidly revolving shaft passed along a slit in the flooring over the basement, having a space of six inches on either side of the shaft, the flooring being of one and a half inches in thickness. A young woman, two months pregnant--primipara--had been repeatedly cautioned not to step over this shaft in visiting her husband, working in the mill. One day, in stepping over it, her dress was caught in a coupling-nut, and in a few seconds she was safely delivered, in the basement, sans clothing, excepting the stockings, and with only a few abrasions of the skin. It was found that a couple of inches of the flooring on one side was broken away. I can vouch for the accuracy of these details.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
