Spit on the Stane, and it will be wet at the last. Sike lippes, sike Latace. Soon gotten, soon spended. Saw thin, and maw thin. Speir at Jock-thief my marrow, if I be a leal man. Seldom rides, tynes the spurres. She's a foul bird that syles her own nest. Sike man, sike master. Seil comes not while sorrow be gone. Sooth bourd is na bourd. Sike a man as thou would be, draw thee to sike company.

After five days the four ships sailed off again, taking possession in the name of the Scots king of the isles of Scarba, Luing, Seil, Kerrera, and Lismore, besieging many castles and imposing oaths of fealty upon their lords, and lastly to the great isle of Mull, whose king was a true Scot and most friendly disposed.

The blue-bearded Sheikh Seil galloped up and down in front of us, twirling his spear.

At last my uncles thought of pursuing their journey; but took care, before they went, to seil my goods, which they did so advantageously for me, that I got five hundred per cent. This sale fetched me so considerable a sum, that I was transported to see myself possessor of it. My father and my uncles left me in Damascus, and pursued their journey.

Sheikh Seil had gone forward to announce us from Ghiuda, and he came to meet us on his pony down both akabas a fearful journey. We always liked Sheikh Seil very much. He was the sheikh of Dirgheg. His hair and his shaggy chest were not white, but a lovely sky-blue.
