A prickle's at my skin that tells me here is dool, and I can smell mort-cloth." Sonachan gave a grunt, and thumped loudly on the fir boards. A silence that was like a swound fell on the instant, and the light within went out at a puff. For a moment it seemed as if our notion of occupancy and light and lament had been a delusion, for now the grave itself was no more desolate and still.
But the captain wadna hark to my rede when I tauld him naught but dool wad cooin o' taking Mungo." It seemed that John Paul, contrary to MacMuir's advice, had shipped as carpenter on the voyage out near seven months since a man by the name of Mungo Maxwell.

"It is true your word brought me here, but I think it was Liot who called me by you." "It was not. When my tongue speaks for any Borson, I wish that it may speak no more! I like none of them.
