By that time the rabbit was cooked, and some plovers' eggs also roasted, along with a large crab which had been taking an airing before Gloy's gleg vision, and was obliged to yield to fate on the instant. The lads were very hungry, and enjoyed their meal in spite of everything.
They were not so jubilant as they had expected to be when sailing to meet the foe, for they were not at all sure how the lads of Lunda would receive their story of Gloy's disappearance. The place of meeting was Havnholme, and when they neared that island Yaspard's quick eyes detected the Laulie moored by the crags and a group of boys standing near the skeö watching for the Boden boat.
It's plain enough some boat has come by, and the men have insisted on his going wi' them. For, mind ye, yon geo is a dangerous place if a high tide happened tae set in." He would not listen to his boys' arguments against such an explanation. Neither Gloy's declaring himself still "The Prisoner," nor Pirate's honesty as policeman, could shake Harrison's belief in his own theory of the matter.
Take out a patent, and you'll make a fortune out of us, for we love that sort of thing better than a miser loves his money." "I'm burning tae hear Gloy's story," said Lowrie, as soon as Tom gave any one a chance to speak. So Gloy was shoved to the front, and bidden to "speak up, and speak quick," which he did right willingly. "It was Mr. Adiesen in his dingy," he said.
No doubt the Mitchells will have some plan in head for making capital out of Gloy's presence in Boden." They chatted in the most friendly manner till they reached Lunda, when they parted with mutual regret and many assurances that they should meet again at no very distant time. The wind was even more favourable for the voyage back, and Yaspard's little boat went swiftly and easily along.
It had been carefully tied to the line and fastened on the rod, and when the paper was released the three eagerly put their heads together to read what was written inside. In Gloy's cramped, unformed caligraphy was traced a few words, mysterious, but, on the whole, reassuring. "I'm all right. I haven't broken faith with you, and no more has Pirate; but you need not be scared about me.
Meanwhile the Osprey had gone to Gloy's geo, and deposited on a safe ledge of rock all which our Viking-boys had carried away from Trullyabister; and when that was done the marauders returned to their homes. At the breakfast-table Yaspard said to his uncle, "The Yarl of Broch asked me to come to Burra Isle to-day, if you have no objections. The Lunda boys are to be there.
