Caxon's countenance fell. "Na, sir, and the winds hae been high, and this is a fearfu' coast to cruise on in thae eastern gales, the headlands rin sae far out, that a veshel's embayed afore I could sharp a razor; and then there's nae harbour or city of refuge on our coast a' craigs and breakers; a veshel that rins ashore wi' us flees asunder like the powther when I shake the pluff and it's as ill to gather ony o't again.

A sacret pipe I've got fixed to the big veshel, and the pipe goes under the wall for me into the tan-pit, and a sucker I have in the big veshel, which I pull open by a string in a crack, and lets all off all clane into the tan-pit. Pat. That's capital! but the water? O'Bla.

But, counshillor, there's the big veshel in the little passage I got a hint from a friend, that the shuper got information of the spirits in that from some villain. O'Bla. And do you think I don't know a trick for that, too? Pat.

No doubt: still, counshillor, I'm in dread of my life that that great big veshel won't be implied in a hurry. O'Bla. Won't it? but you'll see it will, though; and what's more, them spirits will turn into water for the shupervisor. Pat. Water! how? O'Bla. Asy the ould tan-pit that's at the back of the distillery. Pat. I know what of it? O'Bla.

From the pump, another pipe and the girl's pumping asy, for she's to wash to-morrow, and knows nothing about it; and so the big veshel she fills with water, wondering what ails the water that it don't come and I set one boy and another to help her and the pump's bewitched, and that's all: so that's settled. Pat. And cliverly. Oh! counshillor, we are a match for the shuper any day or night. O'Bla.
