About this book

James Starr has abandoned a mine with the absolute conviction that the mine does not contain another bit of coal. The engineer wonders whether an old foreman has discovered a new vein, although the possibility conflicts with his memory of the care taken in exploring the mines.

Harry, Simon Ford's son, is to wait at the Callander station throughout the next day, with a rendezvous appointed at the Yarrow shaft. Nell becomes more tranquil after learning about precautions against danger, although uneasiness remains. The account of the wreck records the rescue of a captain and his crew, hauled safely onto the beach. The wrecked vessel is the Norwegian brig Motala, laden with timber and bound for Glasgow.
