When
John
Mangles
supported
the
proposition
of
Paganel
,
he
took
for
granted
that
he
should
accompany
the
expedition
.
He
began
to
speak
to
Glenarvan
at
once
about
it
,
and
adduced
all
sorts
of
arguments
to
advance
his
cause
--
his
devotion
to
Lady
Helena
and
his
Lordship
,
how
useful
could
he
be
in
organizing
the
party
,
and
how
useless
on
board
the
Duncan
;
everything
,
in
fact
,
but
the
main
reason
,
and
that
he
had
no
need
to
bring
forward
.
"
I
'll
only
ask
you
one
question
,
John
,
"
said
Glenarvan
.
"
Have
you
entire
confidence
in
your
chief
officer
?
"
"
Absolute
,
"
replied
Mangles
,
"
Tom
Austin
is
a
good
sailor
.
He
will
take
the
ship
to
her
destination
,
see
that
the
repairs
are
skilfully
executed
,
and
bring
her
back
on
the
appointed
day
.
Tom
is
a
slave
to
duty
and
discipline
.
Never
would
he
take
it
upon
himself
to
alter
or
retard
the
execution
of
an
order
.
Your
Lordship
may
rely
on
him
as
on
myself
.
"
"
Very
well
then
,
John
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
.
"
You
shall
go
with
us
,
for
it
would
be
advisable
,
"
he
added
,
smiling
,
"
that
you
should
be
there
when
we
find
Mary
Grant
's
father
.
"
"
Oh
!
your
Lordship
,
"
murmured
John
,
turning
pale
.
He
could
say
no
more
,
but
grasped
Lord
Glenarvan
's
hand
.
Next
day
,
John
Mangles
and
the
ship
's
carpenter
,
accompanied
by
sailors
carrying
provisions
,
went
back
to
Paddy
O'Moore
's
house
to
consult
the
Irishman
about
the
best
method
of
transport
.
All
the
family
met
him
,
ready
to
give
their
best
help
.
Ayrton
was
there
,
and
gave
the
benefit
of
his
experience
.
On
one
point
both
he
and
Paddy
agreed
,
that
the
journey
should
be
made
in
a
bullock-wagon
by
the
ladies
,
and
that
the
gentlemen
should
ride
on
horseback
.
Paddy
could
furnish
both
bullocks
and
vehicle
.
The
vehicle
was
a
cart
twenty
feet
long
,
covered
over
by
a
tilt
,
and
resting
on
four
large
wheels
without
spokes
or
felloes
,
or
iron
tires
--
in
a
word
,
plain
wooden
discs
.
The
front
and
hinder
part
were
connected
by
means
of
a
rude
mechanical
contrivance
,
which
did
not
allow
of
the
vehicle
turning
quickly
.
There
was
a
pole
in
front
thirty-five
feet
long
,
to
which
the
bullocks
were
to
be
yoked
in
couples
.
These
animals
were
able
to
draw
both
with
head
and
neck
,
as
their
yoke
was
fastened
on
the
nape
of
the
neck
,
and
to
this
a
collar
was
attached
by
an
iron
peg
.
It
required
great
skill
to
drive
such
a
long
,
narrow
,
shaky
concern
,
and
to
guide
such
a
team
by
a
goad
;
but
Ayrton
had
served
his
apprenticeship
to
it
on
the
Irishman
's
farm
,
and
Paddy
could
answer
for
his
com-petency
.
The
role
of
conductor
was
therefore
assigned
to
him
.
There
were
no
springs
to
the
wagon
,
and
,
consequently
,
it
was
not
likely
to
be
very
comfortable
;
but
,
such
as
it
was
,
they
had
to
take
it
.
But
if
the
rough
construction
could
not
be
altered
,
John
Mangles
resolved
that
the
interior
should
be
made
as
easy
as
possible
.
His
first
care
was
to
divide
it
into
two
compartments
by
a
wooden
partition
.
The
back
one
was
intended
for
the
provisions
and
luggage
,
and
M.
Olbinett
's
portable
kitchen
.
The
front
was
set
apart
especially
for
the
ladies
,
and
,
under
the
carpenter
's
hands
,
was
to
be
speedily
converted
into
a
comfortable
room
,
covered
with
a
thick
carpet
,
and
fitted
up
with
a
toilet
table
and
two
couches
.
Thick
leather
curtains
shut
in
this
apartment
,
and
protected
the
occupants
from
the
chilliness
of
the
nights
.
In
case
of
necessity
,
the
gentlemen
might
shelter
themselves
here
,
when
the
violent
rains
came
on
,
but
a
tent
was
to
be
their
usual
resting-place
when
the
caravan
camped
for
the
night
.
John
Mangles
exercised
all
his
ingenuity
in
furnishing
the
small
space
with
everything
that
the
two
ladies
could
possibly
require
,
and
he
succeeded
so
well
,
that
neither
Lady
Helena
nor
Mary
had
much
reason
to
regret
leaving
their
cosy
cabins
on
board
the
Duncan
.
