4: Bad times have come to Pitmungo. The pits are closed for days on end. The Camerons realise that this happens when there are no boats to take away the coal and they find other work to support themselves. Against rumours that Lord Leitch is going to take over the Sportin' Moor, Maggie secretly negotiates with the mining supply merchant to buy his business.
