CHAPTER XV
BORNE SKYWARD ON A SKIP
"HE'S gone through the hole! Call the captain! Where is he?"
"I saw him on the sub-level above a minute ago," cried a brakeman, running up the ladder to summon the mine captain.
The latter was on hand, it seemed less than a minute later, and behind him came Bob Jarvis.
"What is it?" shouted the captain before he had reached the scene.
"Tally-man and dumper gone down through the hole there."
The captain started in amazement.
"How did it happen?" he demanded excitedly.
"I don't know. He just went through, that's all."
