Presently the night fell darker, and a smurr of rain drifted over from the edges of Pentland, mostly passing high above, but with lower fringes that dragged, as it were, on the Castle Rock and the Hill of Calton. The three young men were still silently looking out when suddenly from the darkness underneath there came a low voice. "'Ware window!" it said, "stand back there above."
They were in a world of snow and barren rocks and brilliant sunlight, with a cold luminous blue sky overhead; themselves the only living creatures visible; their voices sounding strangely distinct in the silence. When they were quite at the summit of the pass, a smurr, as we say in Scotland, came over; but it did not last.
Nevertheless, not a single boat put back, and not a few took incredible risks. Day broke a dull smurr of gray in an interval between two sleet-laden squalls. In the cheerless light of it the Commandant, who, albeit numb with cold, had had not yet found time to feel fatigue, caught sight of Dr. Bonaday's face, and was smitten with sudden compunction.
