25/41 Rintoul, will you tell the workers in the mine to come up. By the way, who are at work now ?" "Bathurst and Wilson, sir." "Then tell Wilson to come up, and request Bathurst to go on with the gallery. Tell him I want that pushed forward as fast as possible, and that one gun will not make much difference here. Request the ladies and children to go down into the storeroom for the present. I don't think the balls will go through the wall, but it is as well to be on the safe side." Captain Rintoul delivered his message to the ladies. |
