In the story of Connal, told by Kenneth MacLennan of Pool Ewe, there is a giant who was beaten by the hero of the tale. Connal was the son of King Cruachan, of Eirinn, and he set out on his adventures.
Maclennan shook hands with him with a cold "How are you," and introduced him to Mr. Fahey. "Is Mr. Craigin ill?" inquired Fahey innocently. "He has met with a slight accident," replied the doctor. "He is doing well and will be about in a day or two." "Accident?" snorted Maclennan; then clearing his throat as for a speech he began in a loud tone, "Dr. Bailey, I must say "
And off into the blizzard and the night they sped, the doctor rejoicing to find in the call to a fight with death that excitement without which it seemed he could not live. At Camp No. 2 Maclennan had struck what was called a hard proposition.
Sure ye'd think it wuz the ould Nick himself ye're dodgin'." Thus Tommy Tate, teamster along the Tote road between the Maclennan camps, admonished his half-broken bronchos. "Stiddy now. The saints be good t'us! Will we iver git down this hill alive? Hould back, will yez? There, now. The saints be praised! that's over. How are ye now, Scotty? If ye're alive, kick me fut. Hivin be praised!
"But," he added, "Maclennan is a great player too." "A great player? Yes and no. He has the fingers and the notes, but he iss not the beeg man. It iss the soul that breathes through the chanter. The soul!" Here he gripped Cameron by the arm. "Man! it iss like praying.
"Yes, but Maclennan beat him." "Maclennan! I haf heard him." The tone was quite sufficient to classify the unhappy Maclennan. "And I haf heard Macpherson too. You iss a player. None of the fal-de-rals of your modern players, but grand and mighty." "I agree with you entirely," replied Cameron, his heart warming at the praise of his old friend of the Glen Cuagh Oir.
Mechanics' wages range between 1l. 5s. and 4l. All have rations or 'subsistence, which here means 3d. a day. Mr. MacLennan has a few Fanti miners, whom he pays at the rate of 6d. per half-day. His full muster of Krumen is 120; the headmen receive 27s. 6d., rising, after six months, to 35s.
For Duncan was a notable man and held the championship of the Zorras; and indeed in all Ontario he was second only to the world-famous Rory Maclennan of Glengarry, who had been to Braemar itself and was beaten there only by a fluke.
To Bachofen we owe the notion of the maternal family and the maternal succession; to Morgan the system of kinship, Malayan and Turanian, and a highly gifted sketch of the main phases of human evolution; to MacLennan the law of exogeny; and to Fison and Howitt the cuadro, or scheme, of the conjugal societies in Australia.
He's come in, fin' tree, four mans seeck on de troat, cough, cough, sore, bad. Fill up de cook-house. Can't do noting. Sainte Marie! Dat new docteur, he's come on de camp, he's mak' one leet' fight, he's beeld hospital an' get dose seeck mans all nice an' snug. Bon. Good. By gar, dat's good feller!" The smile broadened on Fahey's face. "I say, Maclennan, he's captured your camp.
