{{Tr|W. H. G. Kingston}}, first published in 1877 as The Child of the Cavern; or, Strange Doings Underground.

This translation begins: "To Mr. F. R. Starr, Engineer, 30, Canongate, Edinburgh. If Mr. James Starr will come to-morrow to the Aberfoyle coal-mines, Dochart pit, Yarrow shaft, a communication of an interesting nature will be made to him." ["F. R." appears to be an error. The text continues using "James Starr".]
