"How absurd! Why, it's Eben Megg's wife; just her face with the patch of black hair showing above that bit of rock she's hiding behind. Why, she must be watching me. I know; poor thing, she's watching for me to go away so that she can come and look out to sea again for poor Eben."
It's very stupid to be like that perhaps, sort of Jack o' both sides, but I suppose it's how I was made, and it isn't my fault. Why, I say, it must be near dinner-time. How hungry I do feel!" The coast was clear for Eben Megg's wife, and as soon as the lad was out of sight she once more made her way towards the cliff.
He had just reached it, when a figure started up and began to hurry inland, just giving him a glimpse of her face before she disappeared among the rocks, and he recognised Eben Megg's wife. "Been looking out to sea, poor thing!" thought Aleck. "I'm afraid she'll watch for a long time before she sees him coming back."

Look here, Jimmy, you're clean off. You don't savvy a little bit.
Later on he and his party made their way up to the smugglers' cottages, to find them deserted by everyone save Eben Megg's wife, with three pretty little dark-eyed children. The woman looked frightened, and burst into tears as she recognised the young officer, who began at her at once. "You're a nice woman, you are," he said.
The vessel is hardly anchored when the Captain leaves her and makes for Megg's Wharf at North Point as hard as ever his men can pull! Something must be the matter and down the steep hill they all rush as fast as ever their legs can carry them to the landing at Megg's Wharf.
