The disaster results in a number of miners being entombed. but they are ultimately rescued from certain death by the daring leadership of Tom Roberts, the mine manager. Miss Beatrice Holloway. the charming young Australian actress, will appear in the character of Grace Shirley, a schoolmistress, and Mr Robert Innian. the mine manager, a young couple whose cour.se of true love is interrupted for a time by the scheming ambitions of Walter Harford (Mr Godfrey Cassj, until Nemesis, in the person of "No. ill) ,, — ("■[ stable Williams —.steps in and claims his victim.
