"How did Gungadhura get in here?" wondered Tess. "Through the hole at the end of the mine-shaft, I suppose," said Dick. "I built up the lower one he came one day and saw me doing it but left a space at the top that looked too small for a man to crawl through. Then I blocked the mouth of the tunnel afterward, and shut him in, I suppose.
A Firework Display Heralds the Arrival of "The Day" How the Boys Spent Their Last Few Hours in the Trenches Rats as Bedfellows I Make an Early Start And Get Through a Mine-shaft into "No Man's Land" The Great Event Draws Near Anxious Moments The Men Fix Bayonets And Wait the Word of Command to "Go Over the Top."
Bou had just made a proposition that we sneak over after dark and try to locate the devil-machine and blow it up, when we heard something moving below us in the mine-shaft, and a moment later a mud-encrusted face came up into the light.
Take what men you want, and set to work drawing water at once. You must try and clear out some hollow among the stones near the mouth of the well, so that the horses can be led to drink as fast as the men can haul the water up." I was in the party told off to help; and the first thing to be done was to find the nearest part of the court to the interior building where the mine-shaft was.
Giffin decided, the shelling having slackened a little, that we had better get down a mine-shaft near; so we stumbled along to it in anything but a happy frame of mind. Everybody was cursing.

He had changed the subject not abruptly but firmly when the young men entered, but Faxon perceived that it still possessed the thoughts of the two elderly visitors, and Mr. Balch presently observed, in a voice that seemed to come from the last survivor down a mine-shaft: "If it does come, it will be the biggest crash since '93." Mr. Lavington looked bored but polite.
"Without committing ourselves to those enthusiastic praises and prophesyings of the "Weissnichtwo'sche Anzeiger," we admitted that the book had in a high degree excited us to self-activity, which is the best effect of any book; that it had even operated changes in our way of thought; nay, that it promised to prove, as it were, the opening of a new mine-shaft, wherein the whole world of Speculation might henceforth dig to unknown depths.
