MacFarlane hurt serious will recover. Break news gently to daughter. Bolton Asst. Engineer Other despatches had met the party on the way down; one saying, "No change," signed by the trained nurse, and a second one from Bolton in answer to one of Peter's: "Three men killed others escaped. MacFarlane's operation successful. Explosion premature."
As to the injury which McGowan's slipshod work had caused to the "fill," the question of damages and responsibility for the same still hung in the air. The "fill" did not require rebuilding nor did any part of the main work a great relief. The loss had not, therefore, been as great as MacFarlane had feared.
Without them, the half dozen whites could do nothing against Ambrose's strong party. Colina herself had suffered a moral defeat, and required time to recoup her losses. In the back of the store the white men and Gordon Strange held lengthy consultations without agreeing on any course of action. Strange in his modest way deferred to Macfarlane and the others.
"What's this Hawk's telling me about you, MacFarlane?" he demanded, frowning portentously. "I don't know what he has told you. But it is too flagrant, Bucks; I can't do it, and that's all there is about it." The protest was feebly fierce, and there was the snarl of a baited animal in the tone. "It's too late to make difficulties now," was the harsh reply. "You've got to do it."
"And what do ye mean by the berg-folk?" inquired Macfarlane. "They are supposed to be the souls of persons who died impenitent," said Thelma, "and they are doomed to wander, on the hills till the day of judgment. It is a sort of purgatory." Duprez shook his fingers emphatically in the air. "Ah, bah!" he said; "what droll things remain still in the world!
The Scribe does not dare to relate what would have become of one so sensitive as our hero could he have heard the discussion going on later between the two young people when they were backed into one of Peter's bookcases and stood surveying the room. "Miss MacFarlane isn't at all my kind of a girl," Corinne had declared to Garry. "Really, I can't see why the men rave over her.
Macfarlane looked up with a twinkle of satirical humor in his deep-set grey eyes. "Ye see," he said seriously, "the Lacrima, or Papist wine as he calls it, was strong we got him to take a good dose o't a vera feir dose indeed.
"If that ain't Nappie's horse, I'll eat him," said one of the leading men to the other, as all the three were breasting the hill together. Frank only knew that he had been carried over water and timber without a mistake, and felt a glow of gratitude towards Mr. MacFarlane.
The rain had moulded the rough sacking to the outlines of the body underneath; the head was distinct from the trunk, the shoulders plainly modelled; something at once spectral and human riveted their eyes upon the ghastly comrade of their drive. For some time Macfarlane stood motionless, holding up the lamp.
Trees were only scattered here and there; among them were the willows, slender wands of which were formerly used for hanging persons of low degree. "To economize hemp," remarked James Starr. The lake narrowed very much as it stretched northwards. The steamer passed a few more islets, Inveruglas, Eilad-whow, where stand some ruins of a stronghold of the clan MacFarlane.
