"Off to the sealing when he might have a fine sail in the Curlew. I wish I could get such a chance." "All right, lad!" interrupted my father. "Away with you to the sealing. You'll get many another chance of a sail. Who's going with you?" "Robbie Rosson and Willie Hercus and " I added with some hesitation, "Tom Kinlay," for I knew my father did not entirely approve of Tom as a companion.
"There's Robbie Rosson, he'd be glad of the chance." "Bring him to me then, Halcro, and we'll take him along with us next trip to see if he likes it." Here was a fortunate opportunity. By my own advancement I was to be the means of helping my two school companions. Willie Hercus was to join the revenue cutter; Robbie Rosson was to go aboard the Falcon.
I crept along by the foot of the cliffs with Selta, intending to get down to the water's edge, and so work back again to cut off the retreat of the seals; while Kinlay and Rosson did the same on the other side. We gradually and silently closed round our game. Our approach was, however, somewhat marred by an alarm given by a seagull flying over the seals.
After leaving Hercus and Rosson over at Yeskenaby, I met not a person until I reached the shores of Hamla Voe. Here, however, on turning from the moorland path into the main road, I saw a stranger resting upon the low wall at the roadside. He was evidently admiring the scene presented by the quiet bay of Stromness.
