To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The property was bought by four members for eighty thousand pounds sterling, plans were prepared by Mr. Boucher, architect, and fifty thou- sand pounds more spent on the hall and neces- sary alterations, when a limited company was formed to relieve us of the burden.
CHAPTER XXn.
The Blantyre Accident.
On the 22nd of November, 1877, a telegram reached me in the exchange that a serious ex- plosion of gas had taken place in one of W. S.
Dixson's mines at High Blantyre near Hamilton, and it was fea...red many lives had been lost. I at once took the train, and being only half an hour's ride from town, arrived on the spot be- fore anything had been done beyond putting a fence round the shaft to keep back the crowd of distressed relatives. Volunteers to search the mine were shortly after asked for, and I stepped forward with others. It was a heart-rending scene generally, but my attention was called especially to one little girl who, scantily clad and with tears running down her cheeks, kept calling after the volunteers : " 0, gie me ma faither." Notwithstanding all the excitement and work in hand I could not drive her distressed ap- l^earance, painful cry and sobs from my mind and resolved on the instant that anything I could do to assuage her grief would be done.
