Yes
,
"
replied
John
Mangles
,
"
if
our
messenger
can
get
across
the
Snowy
when
we
can
not
.
"
All
eyes
were
turned
on
the
quartermaster
,
who
said
,
with
the
air
of
a
man
who
knew
what
he
was
about
:
"
The
messenger
will
not
cross
the
river
.
"
"
Indeed
!
"
said
John
Mangles
.
"
He
will
simply
go
back
to
the
Lucknow
Road
which
leads
straight
to
Melbourne
.
"
"
Go
two
hundred
and
fifty
miles
on
foot
!
"
cried
the
young
Captain
.
"
On
horseback
,
"
replied
Ayrton
.
"
There
is
one
horse
sound
enough
at
present
.
It
will
only
be
an
affair
of
four
days
.
Allow
the
Duncan
two
days
more
to
get
to
the
bay
and
twenty
hours
to
get
back
to
the
camp
,
and
in
a
week
the
messenger
can
be
back
with
the
entire
crew
of
the
vessel
.
"
The
Major
nodded
approvingly
as
Ayrton
spoke
,
to
the
profound
astonishment
of
John
Mangles
;
but
as
every
one
was
in
favor
of
the
plan
all
there
was
to
do
was
to
carry
it
out
as
quickly
as
possible
.
"
Now
,
then
,
friends
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
"
we
must
settle
who
is
to
be
our
messenger
.
It
will
be
a
fatiguing
,
perilous
mission
.
I
would
not
conceal
the
fact
from
you
.
Who
is
disposed
,
then
,
to
sacrifice
himself
for
his
companions
and
carry
our
instructions
to
Melbourne
?
"
Wilson
and
Mulrady
,
and
also
Paganel
,
John
Mangles
and
Robert
instantly
offered
their
services
.
John
particularly
insisted
that
he
should
be
intrusted
with
the
business
;
but
Ayrton
,
who
had
been
silent
till
that
moment
,
now
said
:
"
With
your
Honor
's
permission
I
will
go
myself
.
I
am
accustomed
to
all
the
country
round
.
Many
a
time
I
have
been
across
worse
parts
.
I
can
go
through
where
another
would
stick
.
I
ask
then
,
for
the
good
of
all
,
that
I
may
be
sent
to
Melbourne
.
A
word
from
you
will
accredit
me
with
your
chief
officer
,
and
in
six
days
I
guarantee
the
Duncan
shall
be
in
Twofold
Bay
.
