They were now standing in a glade, if we may use this word to designate a vast and dark excavation. The place, however, was not entirely deprived of daylight. A few rays straggled in through the opening of a deserted shaft. It was by means of this pipe that ventilation was established in the Dochart pit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
