O'Shea raised his voice: "I say before them what I have said, that if ye'll swear here before heaven, as a man of honour, that ye'll walk from here to the loighthouse on The Cloud which ye shall find in the straight loine of the beach without once turning yer head or looking behoind ye, neither man nor beast nor devil shall do ye any hurt, and yer properties shall be returned to ye when a cart can be got to take them.

"I mean," replied Abe with great earnestness, "that I'm gooin to turn collier." "Nay, niver, lad!" cried his wife in dismay. "Why, it's only for a bit till things brighten up in aar loine, and then thaa knows I can get wark at th' mill agean."

Up at the end of our loines on the other side of the river is a deep ravine. If Oi kin get across with a good horse and slip through the Indian loines on the other soide, I can, by hard roidin' reach this loine in two or three hours.
