Orphan Joe and Peg in London Fire Tragedy
In fogbound London, Joe Mendry, an undersized waif, and his companion Peg endure hunger and cold in Trafalgar Square. A benevolent stranger’s coin flip sparks a supper, but a night of fear ends as a stable loft catches fire and Joe desperately pleads for Peg as flames engulf the wrecked shelter. A constable doubts the tale and drags Joe away while the inferno destroys the loft where Peg lies unconscious, trapping a desperate plea for help.

A dated reminiscence describes lucky finds in back gardens, from Welsh and London cases to Melbourne tales of hidden gold and silver caches.
