Yaspard said; "but how Gloy got there beats me to imagine," and he cast a reproachful glance at Pirate, who was looking up into his master's face with such an expression of fidelity in his honest brown eyes that the boy could not resist their appeal. He took the dog's head between his hands and said, "No, Pirate, I will not think you broke faith with me."
After executing a few bars he said, "I am going across the voe, and you must not mind if I do not take you with me. I want to have a long talk with the Harrison boys. But if you come down to the noost when I return, I'll take you for a little sail." "I'll be there, brodhor," said Signy. She was always "there" when Yaspard required or requested.
Just as Yaspard looked had Frank stood, smiling like a hero, when he plunged into Wester-voe to save cripple Bartle. But even that gallant deed had less risk in it than this which Yaspard contemplated, for the distance Frank had to swim was not half as far, and the sea was quite calm.
Yaspard shook his head. "Not likely. I know the weather-signs. This means to last." "Just so! Bad boy, bad boy!" screamed Thor from a crag close by.
"I wish, though, that we could just beg for the seal, and settle it nicely," said Signy. "Not a bit of good; that would make more fuss still, and unsettle everything, and I'd lose my fun." The Osprey was not far from Yelholme by that time, and Yaspard, pointing to the little isle, said, "It was that old rock with the green nightcap that caused my capture."
Near the peat-stack they found a spade and a large stout keschie, which they appropriated, as Harry suggested it would make a handy cradle for the baby seal. They stole into the ruined and roofless apartment as Yaspard and the Harrisons had done, and listened for sounds from the prisoners; but all was quiet.
It was only when she felt the boat dip unchecked over a second long wave that she glanced at the rope, and saw its end trailing in the water. She uttered a startled cry, and Yaspard, looking around, saw with horror what had taken place. "Oh, Signy! fling me a rope! No, sit still; be still, dear, or you'll be over! Oh, my Signy!"
Neeven, but they had spoken of it to Yaspard, and had been somewhat comforted by his assurance that all they had lost should be restored before long. Our Viking eyed the confiscated articles with infinite satisfaction, before instructing his followers how to deal with it. "But time must not be wasted," said he in a moment.
But Harry did not say a word beyond expressing his eager desire to return and stand by the Viking-boy. Fred had got the whole story from Bill, and he rightly conjectured that the return of the raven would have raised some anxiety, seeing that Yaspard had told his sister that Thor should bring a message, and Thor should precede the Osprey by only a few hours.
Just as his face appeared at the window another face a horrid face, from which a pair of large melancholy eyes glowed with a wild fierce light presented itself opposite Yaspard, and stared out at him in a manner to startle the stoutest man alive.
