"It's no in natur'!" she cried. What are ye stan'in' like that for as gray mou'd 's a deein' skate?" For the first time in his life, Malcolm, young and strong as he was, felt sick. Sea and sky grew dim before him, and the earth seemed to reel under him. "I dinna believe 't," he faltered and turned away. "Ye dinna believe what I tell ye!" screeched the wrathful Partaness.

A cry burst from them all; but on swept the strange boat, bound for the world beyond the flood, and none could stay its course. The water was now in the stable and cow-houses and barn.
