He had gathered from the tone of the letter that something especially urgent required his presence, and he was not slow in supposing that the reason was the unfortunate party at poker in which the Captain had taken part. What, however, could have induced Mrs. Irwin to appeal to him was still an enigma, for his relations to the beautiful young wife had until then not been of a confidential nature.
Of course the Prince had long since been aware that the Kennedys' visitor was Edith Irwin, but this was the first time he had alluded to his German friend's love affair. As if he felt bound to defend himself against a humiliating reproach, Heideck hastened to reply. "You misunderstand my motives. It is my duty as a soldier which summons me first of all.
Irwin with you, and if I were to go up all the way to the top of Shanmoss and back again, and if I could tell you there was nothing there, nothing! if I were to stay out till the dark has come it will be here in half an hour and you could be quite sure when you saw me again, that there was nothing near you but the dear old hills, and the power of God, could you believe me and try and rest and sleep?
"As a lesson to you, Irwin you who always plunge as a madman, and imagine yourself a good player, when you have not the necessary cold blood for gambling."

"The lady, I am glad to say, is in the best of health," said the Colonel. "She has admirable courage." The next morning again, Captain Irwin neither made his appearance nor sent any message.

"And now Nan Bellayne wants to know if she and her sister can come out this afternoon and draw Nan Bellayne's pay?" "What'd he say? What'd he say?" Max Irwin cried excitedly, as she hung up. "That Nan Bellayne was too much for him, and that she and her sister could come out and get her pay and the freedom of the Loops, to boot."

Robert gathered himself together. 'Well, good night, my lad, he said with a change of tone.
The lad then split them both down one side, to increase the area of his improvised ensign, and tied the arms together to increase the length. This "flag" was then nailed to the makeshift flag-staff, and Roger and Jake Irwin swarmed up a palm-tree one of the three composing the posts for the support of the walls of their hut, while Walter Bevan passed up the flag and staff to them from below.
