'They correspond, he said, 'within a hair-breadth to a foot-mark broader and shorter than the former. Hatteraick's genius here deserted him. 'Der deyvil! he broke out, 'how could there be a footmark on the ground, when it was a frost as hard as the heart of a Memel log?
'Deyvil! replied Hatteraick, 'how should I tell what he knows now? But he remembered something of it long. When he was but ten years old he persuaded another Satan's limb of an English bastard like himself to steal my lugger's khan boat what do you call it? to return to his country, as he called it; fire him!
Hatteraick jumped upright upon his feet, and looked at Glossin from head to heel. 'I don't see the goat's foot, he said, 'and yet he must be the very deyvil! But Meg Merrilies is closer yet with the kobold than you are; ay, and I had never such weather as after having drawn her blood.

'Nay, I advise no violence. 'Nein, nein; you leave that to me. Sturmwetter! I know you of old. But, hark ye, what am I, Dirk Hatteraick, to be the better of this? 'Why, is it not your interest as well as mine? said Glossin; 'besides, I set you free this morning. 'YOU set me free! Donner and deyvil! I set myself free.
'You must kindle some fire too, for hold mich der deyvil, Ich bin ganz gefrorne! 'It is a cold place, to be sure, said Glossin, gathering together some decayed staves of barrels and pieces of wood, which had perhaps lain in the cavern since Hatteraick was there last. 'Cold?
"Wetter! will you deny that all that cursed attempt at Portanferry, which lost both sloop and crew, was your device for your own job?" "But the goods, you know " "Curse the goods!" said the smuggler, "we could have got plenty more; but, der deyvil! to lose the ship and the fine follows, and my own life, for a cursed coward villain, that always works his own mischief with other people's hands!
Why, man, though I gave her a wipe with my hanger in the heat of the matter, and cut her arm, and though she was so long after in trouble about it up at your borough-town there, der deyvil! old Meg was as true as steel. 'Why, that's true, as you say, replied Glossin. 'And yet if she could be carried over to Zealand, or Hamburgh, or or anywhere else, you know, it were as well.

Ere Glossin had got upon his feet, the hoarse yet suppressed voice of Hatteraick growled through the recesses of the cave: 'Hagel and donner! be'st du? 'Are you in the dark? 'Dark? der deyvil! ay, said Dirk Hatteraick; 'where should I have a glim? 'I have brought light'; and Glossin accordingly produced a tinder-box and lighted a small lantern.
