Even where the high-explosive shells had not fallen the shrapnel had swept and the clouds of flies that swarmed at every step told of the blood-soaked ground, even where the torn fragments of limbs and bodies had not been left, as they were in many places. So Macgillivray left the trench and scurried across the open with bullets hissing and buzzing about his ears and shells roaring overhead.
Against Gresson they had no evidence at all, but he was kept under strict observation. When I asked about his crossing to France, Macgillivray replied that that was part of their scheme. I inquired if the visit had given them any clues, but I never got an answer, for the line had to be cleared at that moment for the War Office.
The neatest and most artistic method by which the blacks kill fish necessitates the employment of a particular species of spider known to the learned as NEPHILA MACULATA PISCATORUM. This spider was discovered on Dunk Island by Macgillivray, the naturalist of the expedition of H.M.S. RATTLESNAKE in 1848.
This MacGillivray man was a new and quite special cavalier. He was no country boy from a neighbouring farm, but a prosperous young merchant from Port Stewart, a town some dozen miles away on the lake shore. Driving through the country one bright day in early spring, he had met Mary on her way to school, and had never got over the sight.
I wished I was not in the middle of a battle, for I would have had a try at investigating the cipher myself. I wrote a long letter to Macgillivray putting my case, and then went to sleep.

You've got all the machinery, and it's my experience that if even one solitary man keeps chewing on at a problem he discovers something. My enthusiasm was beginning to strike sparks from Macgillivray. He was looking thoughtful now, instead of despondent. 'There might be something in that, he said, 'but it's a far-out chance.
'I wonder what the victory is costing us? 'Never mind. It's costing t'other side more, sir, said the casualty grimly, and then shut lips and teeth tight on the agony that followed. 'I wish Macgillivray would come, said Dewar when that was finished. 'He could have done it so much better.
'Being quite a nuisance, writes Mr Macgillivray, 'and useless as food, Jack often treated them as he would a shark, by "spritsail-yarding," or some still less refined mode of torture.
