The storm abated somewhat as the rocky shores of Pomona hove in sight, and soon the familiar bay of Skaill and the cliffs of my native parish seaboard showed me that the voyage was approaching a welcome end. It was evening when the schooner passed abreast of the rocks of Yeskenaby, and now I watched eagerly for the light in the windows of Lyndardy farm.
The drowned woman was recognized by Quendale as his wife, and she was afterwards buried with the child in the old burying ground of Yeskenaby. "Two days afterwards that is to say on the fifth day after the wreck Ephraim Quendale and the Danish sailor left Orkney." Here Andrew Drever put his hand in his breast pocket and drew out a paper.
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.
"What is it to us though the bailie gave her a dozen sixpences? He'd have given it to any of us if we'd been at the head of the class." The discussion upon Thora ended here, and we continued our walk in comparative silence. Willie Hercus was waiting for us when we reached the hill of Yeskenaby.
