Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Golden Kangaroo At a quarter hour short of noon Alan Brandon left the change house of the Golden Kangaroo Mine, and, in company with a crowd of miners, mullockers and truckers (arrayed like himself in flannels, dungarees and bluchers) he proceeded to the time-keeper´s window. There he received his allowance of "grease" and trudged over to the shaft head, passing on his way the shift men who had just come up. At the shaft head a group of loiterers talked noisily. The men for the lower levels had gone down, and these were awaiting their turn. The shift boss detached himself from the group. "Only half a shift to-day for the six hundred level, my lads," he announced, "but you´ll all be paid full time." The miners who had followed Alan raised an approving cheer. The shift boss hurried off in the direction of the candle house. Alan glanced enquiringly at the loungers. "What´s the game?" he asked. "Inspection by the Chairman of Directors," one of them replied.
