Tale of rough miners conversion by true nobility in N. Z. The egalitarian opinions of the inhabitants of a New Zealand goldfields town on the appointment of a new governor are changed by the untiring efforts of two strangers - a man and wife - to save the life of a miner's child. The couple, the Earl and Countess of Dalhousie, die from the effects of their strenuous night soon after their return to England. Factually based, familiar moral; rough miners' sentiments refreshing and amusing despite overt message of tale. (PB)
