Section 129 submitted.
thank you Chris, for finishing the second section :9: now this story was extremely interesting, especially the exact description how to wash gold. Not that I ever would want to do that, it sounds like an exhausting hobby :lol:

When Hargraves rode through the Blue Mountains I couldn't help picturing you doing this exact same route on one of your bushwalkings. Imagine finding a big nugget all of a sudden !

I only have one tiny note:

> at 13:01: p. 490 middle: "twinkle through the darkness" - you say township, which doesn't really change the meaning here as the camp fires where in the township, but I think the original sentence is more romantic, so if you agree you could correct that. If not, I can well mark it PL ok right away.

Oh and section 128 is prefectly correct and PL ok.

Thanks for telling us about your country's history in a fitting Australian narrative voice. 8-)

Section 127 has unfortunately been orphaned, but since it was such a short section and I had a bit of time, I decided to record it myself just now :)

Jim, if you still have time, would you mind PLing it ?

I agree, and I got interested in this Tosa Nikki and found out that our own Availle already recorded it for LV. 8-)

Thank you for this quick turn-around Jim. It's of course PL ok on the first go :thumbs:

Simon, thank you so much for this excellently narrated section. :D And this was your very first recording, if I recall correctly. Well done, congratulations. :clap:

No reason at all to apologize, you had our standard two-month-deadline for completion and it has not expired yet for two more weeks. So you are well inside the time-frame. But I'm glad I got your section now, because, as you can see, we are in the final phase and we're close to archiving :9:

Concerning your reading, it's absolutely enjoyable to listen to. I love the dark timbre in your voice and your quiet, non-hectic way of reading. Perfect to follow along with the story. The story itself was interesting, I had never heard of Aguinaldo before, but checked him up on wikipedia just now. Interesting character.

The text itself is flawlessly read :thumbs: there's only one slight technical error that needs correcting in the introduction:

> at 0:18: you forgot to say the rest of the long disclaimer (as mentioned in the first post), please add the following: “The World’s Story, Volume I: China, Japan and the Islands of the Pacific, edited by Eva March Tappan. Section 136.” and then only start with the title of the story

Super for your first contribution. I hope you had fun and I will hear lots more from you. If you are interested in India and Mesapotamia, that will be the topic of the next part of the World's Story 8-) starting soon after the completion of this one. So stay in touch !

For your corrected file, please re-upload with the exact same file-name. (no "version 2" or anything). The new file will replace the old one in the Magic Window.

Thank you, and have a nice weekend :)
