It must not be supposed that Ruby forgot the conversation he had overheard in the Gaylet Cove.
Thus advised, and being further urged by Ruby himself, and being moreover exceedingly anxious to see this cave, Minnie consented; so the two set off together, and, climbing to the summit of the cliffs, followed the narrow footpath that runs close to their giddy edge all along the coast. In less than half an hour they reached the Giel or Gaylet Pot.

"Thank you, friend, for the hint," said the lieutenant, as he took his place at the tiller-ropes, "but I shall have a look at the Gaylet Cove, I think, this evening." "What! the Gaylet Cove?" cried Spink. "Ye might as weel look for kegs at the bottom o' the deep sea." "Perhaps so; nevertheless, I have taken a fancy to go there.
