The story delves into the adventurous and perilous lives of miners, highlighting both the myths and realities of their work. The narrative appears to focus on a young character named Anton Rover, who grapples with superstitions about the mining world while navigating the dangerous profession alongside older miners like Clem Swinton and Otto.

The introduction sets a foreboding tone, highlighting the dangers of mining reinforced by Otto’s ominous predictions of accidents. Soon after, the narrative shifts focus to the practical realities of coal mining, as Anton learns from Clem about safety measures amidst superstitions and the camaraderie that exists among miners. The chapter culminates in escalating tension as a disaster strikes, foreshadowing a struggle for survival that will challenge the characters to confront both their fears and the myths surrounding their profession.
