"Hoo kenned ye it was a kelpie it's maist as dark's pick?" "Kenned! quo' he? Didna I hear the deevil ahin' me the tramp o' a' the fower feet o' 'im, as gien they had been fower an' twinty!"
It being near the close of the day, we left Alloo, and having a fair wind, reached the schooner before dark. The next morning, Dec. 5th, being very pleasant, all hands were employed in procuring wood for the schooner some in cutting it down, and others in boating it off. Our carpenter had been engaged for a few days, at Milly; to instruct and assist the natives in repairing a canoe.

What though I hae nae feelin's!
Again I had the satisfaction of being with Lay; who informed me that they were going to fight the other party at Alloo; and that the high chief had told him that he and I must prepare two muskets, and go and fight with them. Luttuon sent for me and Lay, and informed us he was about to have a battle, and that we must prepare to take a part in it.
After dinner, the captain made a trip in the gig, to Alloo, taking me for his interpreter, where we arrived in half an hour, and soon travelled up to the village. The natives received us with marks of gladness, and in a short time the house at which we stopped was surrounded by them, who came undoubtedly for the purpose of gratifying their curiosity, by gazing at us.
