A writer recalls a perilous mine descent from decades past using a tiny wooden platform and a single lamp. He describes the shrinking shaft, the underground workings, and the grim life of miners, ending with reflections on morality and salvation.
A humorous dialogue features an Inspector asking why the sun never sets on English possessions and replies that they are in all directions. Uncle John quips about quarrelling with a neighbor over a canary with a buried hatchet gag. A woman’s last word and a witty line about women talking to another woman close the exchange.
