Cappy shrieked, losing all control of himself. "Dog-gone you, Matt Peasley, don't tell me such stories. You're driving me crazy!" "It will cost me nine thousand a month to run her and she doesn't even go near the war zone. I'm going to run her to South American ports." "How long?" Matt Peasley smiled. "How long?" he echoed. "Why, she's only chartered for one trip just now.
Lindsey struggled much with anything he was cool and phlegmatic as usual, and immediately began to think of practical measures. "Look here, Portlethorpe," he said, as soon as we were in the motor car which we had chartered from Newcastle station, "we've got to get going in this matter at once straight away! We must be in Edinburgh as early as possible in the morning.
It was one of those Indian summer afternoons when it seems sinful waste of opportunity to spend a needless hour within. Being in no sort of hurry, the doctor and I chartered a motor-carriage for two at the next station, and set forth in the general direction of home, indulging ourselves in as many deviations from the route as pleased our fancy.
They accommodated their activities to the limited powers of the elders, and took them wherever it was reasonably possible for them to go.

No regard of course was paid to any rights of the natives, who as a matter of fact were dying out rapidly from the effects of bad alcohol and epidemic diseases. His motive was to establish large colonies of stalwart Highlanders as the tenants of a Chartered Company. Alexander Mackenzie had already called the north-west country "New Caledonia". Lord Selkirk wished to make it so in its population.
