The piece blends a Christmas meditation with a dramatic rescue tale. It recalls the Christmas story and emphasizes mercy while recounting how Bob Grimaby was buried by sand after a bank collapse and later rescued by thirty men lifting earth with shovels. Bob survived, though exhausted, and is described as strong and hopeful.
An untidy reminiscence recalls Bob Grimsby a rugged miner at Long Point in the early seventies. A staged accident and hoax test his nerve, leading to a lucky strike and a thriving claim. Despite wealth, Grimsby remains plain, generous, and heavily involved with his crew, shaping a lasting, remembered township legacy.
