No move in him. Here's McKay good man, earnest, but not adaptable, like Finlayson; won't do. Here's Garton fine fellow, would do well, but hardly strong enough. So what are you to do? I have gone over the whole list of available men and I cannot find one suitable for Windermere." In this the Assembly's Convener could give him no help.
"You have been fortunate, senhor," he said, simply and stepped around to the other side of the fire. "Huh? Say, lookit here, ye long-legged gorilla " Knowlton exploded. McKay and Lourenço snickered. "It's on you, Tim!" vociferated Knowlton. "You dug the hole yourself. Now crawl in and pull it in after you." Tim snorted wrathfully, but his eyes laughed.
He was an outlaw, and the police wanted him, but Peter was troubled by the grimness that settled in his master's face. They waited for dusk, and when deep shadows had gathered in the valley McKay led the way out of the rock-pile. An hour later they came cautiously through the darkness that lay between the broken shoulders of Cragg's Ridge.
Need we say that it was Fergus McKay, almost blind and dumb from exhaustion, for the parting from Dan Davidson which we have mentioned had proved to be the last straw which broke them both down, and it is probable that the frozen corpse of poor Dan would have been found next day on the snow, had he not been accidentally met by Dechamp, and taken in charge by the Indian Okematan.
"I would do much for your sake, Elspie, but not this, for it iss showin' the white feather I am, they will be sayin', and, as father often says, that iss what must never be true of a McKay."

To find them might take days, if not weeks; and, even if successful, of what avail would it be to discover groups of men who were in the same predicament with themselves? To remain where they were was certain and not far-distant death! The situation was desperate, and each knew it to be so. Yet each did not take it in the same way. McKay, as we have said, became abstracted and slightly nervous.
McKay seldom ventured to kill any game merely an auerhahn, a hare or two, a red squirrel and sometimes he had caught trout in the mountain brooks with his bare hands the method called "tickling" and only too familiar to Old-World poachers. "Roebuck," she repeated trying not to speak wistfully. He nodded: "One crossed the stream below.
Others await us on Mount Terrible Germans in Swiss uniforms." "You'd better keep an eye on Macniff and Skelton," grumbled Recklow. "No; they're to be trusted. We nearly caught McKay and the Erith girl in Scotland; they killed four of our people and hurt two others.... Listen, comrade Wolkcer, if a trodden path ascends Mount Terrible, as Skelton pretended, you and I had better look for it.
"The management disowns you. You're out in the cold world," laughed Butler. "All right. That's good. Then I don't have to work." "No, he doesn't have to work," agreed the professor.
