The fate of Dirk Hatteraick's vessel was certain. Shortly after, they perceived that she grounded, smoked, and, finally, took fire. The guns of the burning vessel discharged themselves as the fire reached them; and they saw her, at length, blow up with a great explosion.
Nein I would have a lusthaus of mine own on the Middleburgh dyke, and a blumengarten like a burgomaster's." "Ay, and a wooden lion at the door, and a painted sentinel in the garden, with a pipe in his mouth! But, hark ye, Hatteraick; what will all the tulips, and flower-gardens, and pleasure-houses in the Netherlands do for you, if you are hanged here in Scotland?" Hatteraick's countenance fell.
'Poz hagel, blitzen, and donner! I I doubt you say true. 'Not, said Glossin, perceiving he had made the desired impression, 'not that I am against being civil'; and he slid into Hatteraick's passive hand a bank-note of some value. 'Is this all? said the smuggler. 'You had the price of half a cargo for winking at our job, and made us do your business too.
'I must place myself, he thought, 'on strong ground, that, if anything goes wrong with Dirk Hatteraick's project, I may have prepossessions in my favour at least. Besides, to do Glossin justice, bad as he was, he might feel some desire to compensate to Miss Bertram in a small degree, and in a case in which his own interest did not interfere with hers, the infinite mischief which he had occasioned to her family.
He therefore supposed himself safe from all evidence but such as might arise from Hatteraick's confession; to prevent which he resolved to push a bold face and join his brethren of the bench during his examination.

Hatteraick's ankles were secured within shackles, which were connected by a chain, at the distance of about four feet, with a large iron ring, which travelled upon the bar we have described. Thus a prisoner might shuffle along the length of the bar from one side of the room to another, but could not retreat farther from it in any other direction than the brief length of the chain admitted.
"Hark you, Hatteraick, I can't set you at liberty, but I can put you where you can set yourself at liberty. I always like to assist an old friend." So he gave him a file. "There's a friend for you, and you know the way to the sea, and you must remain snug at the point of Warroch till I see you." "The point of Warroch?" Hatteraick's countenance fell. "What in the cave?
