Tom Kinlay was thereupon taken by Macfarlane to his prison cell to await the delivery of the formal charge of murder. I was taking up my gun and preparing to leave when Andrew Drever requested me to remain in order to be present at the consideration of a further question that had arisen out of his investigations of the case. Mr.
Young Kinlay rose and staggered after the men. Evidently he had broached one of the whisky kegs. I drew closer within the shadow of the rock and watched the proceedings. The smugglers carried away one by one as many of the spirit kegs as I believed might lie in the bottom of the St. Magnus.
In the middle of the group there was a withered little man, bent with age, with a long ragged beard and a nose like the beak of a hawk. He wore a great black coat that was very shiny and reached almost down to his ankles; and in his skinny fingers he held what I soon recognized as the large red stone that Tom Kinlay had found at Skaill.
The ship's book will also show you that at Glasgow she took on board the man Carver Kinlay and his wife, his son Tom, and an infant girl." "The girl Thora " put in Bailie Duke. "Wait a bit, sir," said Andrew, continuing. "There were four persons saved from the wreck in pilot Ericson's boat. These were Kinlay's wife and their boy Tom, a Danish seaman, and a gentleman passenger.
I hurriedly drew on some clothes and opened the outer door. A wild gust of wind and snow swished in upon me, and in the deep snow outside there stood a woman holding a lighted lantern. "Please d'ye ken anything about Thora Kinlay?" said she; and I recognized Ann, the servant woman of Crua Breck. "Anything about Thora?" I asked, surprised at the inquiry. "Why, Ann, what's gone wrong wi' her?"
And he raised Tom Kinlay in his strong arms high in air, and almost threw him out at the open door. "That was smartly done, my man," said Lieutenant Fox. "I wish we had a few such fellows as you aboard the Clasper." And thus revealing himself, the officer finished his drink and leisurely left us. "Who's that chap just gone out?" asked Paterson. "It's Lieutenant Fox of the Clasper," I said.
"What d'ye mean?" said the captain. "I did heave ropes over, and I need tell no lies about it. I gave more assistance than you did, ye blackguard." "Oh, very well, very well! I thought I'd just put you on your guard, d'ye see, in case you're examined." And so saying, Kinlay disappeared over the rail, and was soon sailing away, taking Thora with him.
The cheviot, with the stupidity of its kind, saw not the danger to which it was hastening. Panic stricken, it rushed towards a part of the cliffs known as the Lyre Geo, and no efforts of Jessie could divert its onward career. When Kinlay became conscious of what he had done he called back his dog.
"Please, sir," said Thora, "I was to tell you that he's not to come to the school again. They're buildin' a new boat for father at Kirkwall, an' Tom's to be aboard of her." I thought it curious that Carver Kinlay should have a boat built in Kirkwall, and not by our own local builder, Tammy Lang, of Stromness. And what could this new boat be intended for?
Two of them were badly wounded, and they were ordered to be taken below to have their wounds dressed, whilst the others were now being placed in irons. They were bound hand and foot to a gun carriage. Tom Kinlay, who was beside me under the starboard bulwarks, watched the men with consternation in his face. He was evidently very much afraid.
