"This was more than a gold hunt, more than an adventure. It became a kind of 'seeing', a kind of 'thinking'. Gold is often in dry, lonely areas. The search is long and frequently monotonous. Beyond the campfire one has to guard the thoughts that appear in one's mind. When the beautiful metal turns up, however, the effort, slog and monotony are immediately forgotten. The fever is on!"
