I asked; and he, clapping his hands, exclaimed, "Lightning! See, there is another flash. Get up, my hearties; the wind's rising. There's a beautiful clap of thunder. We shall have a fine storm presently!" One by one the men staggered to their feet.
The tramp of the ascending troopers was heard. "Good bye my hearties," said Mick, and he made the spring. He seemed stunned, but he might recover. Morley watched him and flung the box.
