Horses and bullocks were grazing in the Irishman's meadows, ready to fetch at a moment's notice. After all arrangements were made, and the carpenter set to work, John Mangles escorted the Irishman and his family back to the vessel, for Paddy wished to return the visit of Lord Glenarvan. Ayrton thought proper to go too, and about four o'clock the party came over the side of the DUNCAN.
"Then it must have bin your little chum Flinders. Where is he?" "How could Flinders ha' done it when he was tellin' a ghost story?" said Crossby.

As he drew nearer the words became intelligible.
"I prepare you," said he, "for what you are sure to see. This woman was an Irish bricklayer's daughter, and 'what is bred in the bone never comes out of the flesh; you will find her sitting on some Irishman's knee, whose limbs are ever so much stouter than yours.
