A New Old-Fashioned Ghost. Half-past One o'clock. Put out the Light! The ghost in the following famous tale had a purpose. He was a Highland ghost, a Campbell, and desired vengeance on a Macniven, who murdered him. The ghost, practically, "cried Cruachan," and tried to rouse the clan. Failing in this, owing to Inverawe's loyalty to his oath, the ghost uttered a prophecy.
Colonel Grant hastened to the dying man's side, who looked reproachfully at him, and said: "You deceived me; this is Ticonderoga, for I have seen him". Inverawe never spoke again. Inverawe's son, an officer in the same regiment, also lost his life at Ticonderoga.
Inverawe was filled with disgust at this cowardly conduct, and already almost repented having plighted his word to save such a worthless creature. On Inverawe's return home he found a man in a state of great excitement waiting to see him. "We have," said he, "tracked the murderer to within a short distance of this place, and I am here to warn you in case he should seek your protection."
