Not directly of help to the question but I have recently been advised
by Peter Appleton (mailto:[log in to unmask]) that the rescue
team(s) who attempted entry to the Hamstead Mine, following the
disaster in 1908, were carrying Linnets and not Canaries.
This is the first time I have heard of Linnets being used.
