A wanderer arrives to a remote mining settlement but the place seems to be deserted. Eventually he finds the one he's looking for - Banech - and asks him for a loan to start a mining outfit. But Banech doubts him so he gives the stranger a 3 week waiting period. And indeed, there's something strange about the drifter and Banech can sense that. As he looks around for the ghost-like appearance, Banech reconsiders his decision.
