"Dornoch, ahoy!" shouted Captain Chantor, mounted on the port rail. "Do you surrender?" "I do," replied Captain Rombold; for Christy recognized his voice. "Our ship is sinking!" By this time the havoc made by the big gun of the Chateaugay could be seen and estimated. The bow of the steamer had been nearly all shot away. Her bowsprit and her mainmast had gone by the board.
The commander clapped his hands as though he was of the same opinion as his passenger, and Christy proceeded with his narrative, describing their visit to the Dornoch and the blockade-runners at St. George's and Hamilton. The captain was very much amused at his interview in French with Captain Rombold, and his conversations with officers of other vessels they had boarded.
"You can be of more service to me as an adviser than as a hand at a gun. It is plain enough that the commander of the Dornoch intends to fight as long as there is anything left of him or his ship. Your report of him gives me that assurance."
Turreton has been bestowing upon her," replied the commander, after he had given the order to make the course directly towards the Dornoch. Christy continued to watch the enemy's vessel.
Each year a cow is the reward of Barth's work, and each year he is asked for the cow, and gives her up, until he has given three cows. Then St. Such is the Norse story of Barth, to whom the first Cathedral in Dornoch was said to have been dedicated. It is far more prettily told in the Saga. But St.
About the year 890, after challenging Malbrigde of the Buck-tooth to a fight with forty a side, to which he himself perfidiously brought eighty men, Sigurd outflanked and defeated his adversary, and cut off his head and suspended it from his saddle; but the buck-tooth, by chafing his leg as he rode away from the field, caused inflammation and death, and Jarl Sigurd's body was laid in howe on Oykel's Bank at Sigurthar-haugr, or Sigurds-haugr, the Siwards-hoch of early charters now on modern maps corruptly written Sidera or Cyderhall, near Dornoch, which, when translated, is Sigurd's Howe.
"No; she is much larger than the Dornoch," added Mr. Gilfleur. "I am disappointed," replied the captain. The steamer showed the British flag, and went on her way to the south-west. The Chateaugay continued on her course without change till eight bells in the afternoon watch, when a heavier volume of smoke was descried in the north-east.
"I spent a winter there when I was sick from over-work and exposure; and I know all about the islands." "That will not help me, Mr. Gilfleur," said the captain, with a smile at what he considered the simplicity of the Frenchman. "But why can you not go in and see if the Dornoch is there?" inquired the detective.
Dornoch advanced with a mocking smile on his lips and raised his sword. The crowd drew back. He was full ten inches taller than Kenric of Bute, and the muscles of his broad bare chest were as the roots of a tree that rise above the ground; as the nether boughs of the fir tree were his strong and hairy arms. Little cause did he see to shrink from combat with the youth who thus challenged him.
She is a woman; and I think that steamer was a woman-of-war." The consul laughed heartily, but insisted upon the feminine designation of the steamer. "What you call ze name of ze man-of-war?" asked M. Rubempré, putting on a very puzzled expression of countenance. "The Dornoch," replied Mr. Alwayn. "The D'Ornoch," added the detective.
