"
And
now
let
's
take
another
peek
at
the
red-coats
,
"
says
Alan
,
and
he
led
me
to
the
north-eastern
fringe
of
the
wood
.
922
Looking
out
between
the
trees
,
we
could
see
a
great
side
of
mountain
,
running
down
exceeding
steep
into
the
waters
of
the
loch
.
It
was
a
rough
part
,
all
hanging
stone
,
and
heather
,
and
big
scrogs
of
birchwood
;
and
away
at
the
far
end
towards
Balachulish
,
little
wee
red
soldiers
were
dipping
up
and
down
over
hill
and
howe
,
and
growing
smaller
every
minute
.
There
was
no
cheering
now
,
for
I
think
they
had
other
uses
for
what
breath
was
left
them
;
but
they
still
stuck
to
the
trail
,
and
doubtless
thought
that
we
were
close
in
front
of
them
.
923
Alan
watched
them
,
smiling
to
himself
.

"
Ay
,
"
said
he
,
"
they
'll
be
gey
weary
before
they
've
got
to
the
end
of
that
employ
!
And
so
you
and
me
,
David
,
can
sit
down
and
eat
a
bite
,
and
breathe
a
bit
longer
,
and
take
a
dram
from
my
bottle
.
925
Then
we
'll
strike
for
Aucharn
,
the
house
of
my
kinsman
,
James
of
the
Glens
,
where
I
must
get
my
clothes
,
and
my
arms
,
and
money
to
carry
us
along
;
and
then
,
David
,
we
'll
cry
,
'
Forth
,
Fortune
!
'
and
take
a
cast
among
the
heather
.
"
926
So
we
sat
again
and
ate
and
drank
,
in
a
place
whence
we
could
see
the
sun
going
down
into
a
field
of
great
,
wild
,
and
houseless
mountains
,
such
as
I
was
now
condemned
to
wander
in
with
my
companion
.
Partly
as
we
so
sat
,
and
partly
afterwards
,
on
the
way
to
Aucharn
,
each
of
us
narrated
his
adventures
;
and
I
shall
here
set
down
so
much
of
Alan
's
as
seems
either
curious
or
needful
.
927
It
appears
he
ran
to
the
bulwarks
as
soon
as
the
wave
was
passed
;
saw
me
,
and
lost
me
,
and
saw
me
again
,
as
I
tumbled
in
the
roost
;
and
at
last
had
one
glimpse
of
me
clinging
on
the
yard
.
It
was
this
that
put
him
in
some
hope
I
would
maybe
get
to
land
after
all
,
and
made
him
leave
those
clues
and
messages
which
had
brought
me
(
for
my
sins
)
to
that
unlucky
country
of
Appin
.

In
the
meanwhile
,
those
still
on
the
brig
had
got
the
skiff
launched
,
and
one
or
two
were
on
board
of
her
already
,
when
there
came
a
second
wave
greater
than
the
first
,
and
heaved
the
brig
out
of
her
place
,
and
would
certainly
have
sent
her
to
the
bottom
,
had
she
not
struck
and
caught
on
some
projection
of
the
reef
.
When
she
had
struck
first
,
it
had
been
bows-on
,
so
that
the
stern
had
hitherto
been
lowest
.
But
now
her
stern
was
thrown
in
the
air
,
and
the
bows
plunged
under
the
sea
;
and
with
that
,
the
water
began
to
pour
into
the
fore-scuttle
like
the
pouring
of
a
mill-dam
.
929
It
took
the
colour
out
of
Alan
's
face
,
even
to
tell
what
followed
.
For
there
were
still
two
men
lying
impotent
in
their
bunks
;
and
these
,
seeing
the
water
pour
in
and
thinking
the
ship
had
foundered
,
began
to
cry
out
aloud
,
and
that
with
such
harrowing
cries
that
all
who
were
on
deck
tumbled
one
after
another
into
the
skiff
and
fell
to
their
oars
.
They
were
not
two
hundred
yards
away
,
when
there
came
a
third
great
sea
;
and
at
that
the
brig
lifted
clean
over
the
reef
;
her
canvas
filled
for
a
moment
,
and
she
seemed
to
sail
in
chase
of
them
,
but
settling
all
the
while
;
and
presently
she
drew
down
and
down
,
as
if
a
hand
was
drawing
her
;
and
the
sea
closed
over
the
Covenant
of
Dysart
.
930
Never
a
word
they
spoke
as
they
pulled
ashore
,
being
stunned
with
the
horror
of
that
screaming
;
but
they
had
scarce
set
foot
upon
the
beach
when
Hoseason
woke
up
,
as
if
out
of
a
muse
,
and
bade
them
lay
hands
upon
Alan
.
They
hung
back
indeed
,
having
little
taste
for
the
employment
;
but
Hoseason
was
like
a
fiend
,
crying
that
Alan
was
alone
,
that
he
had
a
great
sum
about
him
,
that
he
had
been
the
means
of
losing
the
brig
and
drowning
all
their
comrades
,
and
that
here
was
both
revenge
and
wealth
upon
a
single
cast
.
It
was
seven
against
one
;
in
that
part
of
the
shore
there
was
no
rock
that
Alan
could
set
his
back
to
;
and
the
sailors
began
to
spread
out
and
come
behind
him
.
