a cautious glance at the door, and then proceeded in his
instructions. 'When you escape, you had better go to the Kaim of
Derncleugh.'

'Donner! that howff is blown.'

'The devil! well, then, you may steal my skiff that lies on the
beach there, and away. But you must remain snug at the Point of
Warroch till I come to see you.'

'The Point of Warroch?' said Hatteraick, his countenance again
falling; 'what, in the cave, I suppose? I would rather it were
anywhere else; es spuckt da: they say for certain that he walks.
But, donner and blitzen! I never shunned him alive, and I won't
shun him dead. Strafe mich helle! it shall never be said Dirk
Hatteraick feared either dog or devil! So I am to wait there till
I see you?'

'Ay, ay,' answered Glossin, 'and now I must call in the men.' He
did so accordingly.

'I can make nothing of Captain Jansen, as he calls himself, Mac-
Guffog, and it's now too late to bundle him off to the county
jail. Is there not a strong room up yonder in the old castle?'

'Ay is there, sir; my uncle the constable ance kept a man there
for three days in auld Ellangowan's time. But there was an unco
dust about it; it was tried in the Inner House afore the
Feifteen.'
