"How far to Merthyr?" said I in Welsh. "Tair milltir three miles, sir." Turning round a corner at the top of a hill I saw blazes here and there, and what appeared to be a glowing mountain in the south- east.

Un waith, dwywaith, tair!" Translation. "A gift for me and a gift for my staff, And a gift to eat as I trudge along. Once, twice, thrice!" It is a peremptory demand, sung in a chanting kind of monotone, and very seldom refused. A boy is chosen to knock at the farm door and rouse the inmates, it being considered unlucky for the household if a girl first crosses the threshold.

Guess it's all over wi' the poor critters in the cabin, or will be afore we kin do anythin' to help 'em. Ef they ain't kilt, they're captered by this time."

"But what of all that, Chips? How can it help us?" "Help us! Why, 'tair the very i-dentical thing ez 'll help us; our coorse is laid out to a p'int o' the kompiss! All we'll hev to do is to run east'ard through the Beagle Channel, an' then 'long the open coast to good Success Bay, in the Straits o' Le Maire.
