Bidding Kenric proceed with a squadron of six ships to Colonsay, Coll, and Tiree, he took under his own command the six other galleys, namely, three of Arran, one of Dunoon, one of Galloway, and one of Bute, the last being the /Kraken/, of which Allan Redmain was the master.
The parish church of Dunoon, standing on a wooded height, rising from the water, with its grey tower looking over the trees, is a dignified and commanding object.
But three days a week I learned to read and write and cipher, and the other three I worked in a flax mill in the wee Forfarshire town of Arboath. Do ye ken what I was paid? Twa shillin' the week. That's less than fifty cents in American money. And that was in 1881, thirty eight years ago. I've my bit siller the noo. I've my wee hoose amang the heather at Dunoon.
Glasgow Daily News! In a minute or two, the ropes are cast off, and the steamers diverge as from a centre to their various ports. We are going to Dunoon.
Then there is Private Mellish. In his company roll he is described as "an actor." But his orbit in the theatrical firmament has never carried him outside his native Dunoon, where he follows the blameless but monotonous calling of a cinematograph operator.
My duty called me back, and the thought of war, and suffering, and there were moments when it seemed to me that nothing could keep me from plunging again into the work I had set out to do. In those days I was far too restless to be taking my ease at home, in my wee hoose at Dunoon. A thousand activities called me.
"You must work on, Dad, like every other Briton," he said. "Think of the part you're playing. Why you're more use than any of us out there you're worth a brigade!" So I left him on the Clyde, and went on about my work. But I went back to Dunoon as often as I could, as I got a day or a night to make the journey. At first there was small change of progress.
"Think o' that, now!" nodded the Spider, "a millionaire now how nice! An' what do they call ye at home?" "Geoffrey Ravenslee." "How much?" exclaimed the Spider, falling back a step. "The guy as went ten rounds with Dick Dunoon at th' 'National? The guy as won th' Auter-mobile Race? Th' guy as bought up Mulligan's you?" "Why, yes.
I rushed to the door, and there was a porter, holding out a telegram. I took it and tore it open. And I knew why I had felt as I had the day before. I shall never forget what I read: "Captain John Lauder killed in action, December 28. Official. War Office." It had gone to Mrs. Lauder at Dunoon first, and she had sent it on to me. That was all it said.
And if ever I hear a coster call out, "There goes Sir Harry Lauder," I'll ken it's time for me to be really doing what I'm really going tae do before sae long retire frae the stage and gae hame to my wee hoose amang the heather at Dunoon tae live! I'd no be having you think I'm meaning to criticize all the actors and actresses of the legitimate stage who have done a turn in the halls.
