"The thing became a mystery and a puzzle so astounding that its fame spread beyond the county, and was noised abroad throughout the land. Clearly a gang of thieves were at work with some new method of piercing the earth; but what that method was, not even the most distinguished scientists could discover" (Colin Collins, 'The Human Mole').
