In a treacherous mine drift, Trenoweth and companions adjust to rising water and a hidden danger. They observe the spring breaching the floor, hear an eerie sound, and sense unseen watchers. The crew contemplates the peril as the shaft fills with water and rock.
Tremors, shouting, and a rushing roar as a mine cage bursts from the shaft. Trenoweth and workers scramble from debris while an engine-driver reports the mine is flooded after the collapse. Rescue efforts begin despite growing fears for several men trapped.
In a coastal mining village, sixteen men are trapped as a flood seizes the Wheal Merlin. Rescue attempts fail as water fills old drives and shafts, with nine of the buried men married, leaving families to mourn. Edward Trenoweth grieves beside the ruined mine while Inez consoles him amid a stunned, frightened crowd.
