A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



4t Our old miners, are no more con-, 

 eerned, at hearing them Wafting, boring 

 holes, landing deads, &c. than if they 

 were fome of their own people ; and a 

 Jingle miner will ftay in the work, in 

 the dead of the night, without any man 

 wear Mm, and never think of any fear 

 or harm they will do him ; for they 

 have a notion, that the Knackers are of 

 their own tribe and profeffion, and are a 

 liarmlefs people, who mean well. Three 

 or four miners together, (hall hear them 

 ibmetimes, but if the miners ftop to take 

 .notice of them, the Knockers will alfo 

 flop ; but let the miners go on at their 

 own work, fuppofe it is boring, the 

 Knockers will go on as brifk as can be, 

 in landing, bla/ling, or beating down the 

 loofe ; and they were always heard a 

 littlej from them, before they came to 

 the ore."
