When we returned to the mouth all of our little party were assembled in the cellar, each man and the women as well carrying a pair of snowshoes. Flora and Mrs. Menzies were protected against the bitter weather by furred cloaks. Of the five wounded men one had died within the hour; the other four were able to hobble along temporarily with some assistance.
I'll venture to predict that the attack is made late this afternoon, when the twilight begins to gather." "It will mean the loss of the fort," said I. "We can't shut our eyes to that fact. We have a few hours of grace left; let us make the most of them." "But what are we to do?" said Dr. Knapp. "Ay, what?" Menzies echoed dismally.
The heavy charge ploughed into the huddled mass of savages. To judge from the agonized shrieks that followed the loss of life must have been terrible, but we could see nothing for the dense cloud of smoke that hung between us. "To the house!" cried Menzies. "Quick for your lives!" I shouted.
To Merriman it certainly looked as if the men were going to fall into the trap which he and his friends had prepared, and he congratulated himself on having adhered to his program and hidden himself in the barrel, instead of leaving the watching to be done by Menzies, as he had been so sorely tempted to do.
Nairne's, now also one of our judges, by the title of Lord Dunsinan; at Dr. Blair's, and Mr. Tytler's; and at my house thrice, one evening with a numerous company, chiefly gentlemen of the law; another with Mr. Menzies of Culdares, and Lord Monboddo, who disengaged himself on purpose to meet him; and the evening on which we returned from Lord Elibank's, he supped with my wife and me by ourselves .

"Not to speak to." "You can't expect us to know all your shady friends," said Dunstable. "Why?" "He's got a tea on this evening. If you knew him well enough, you might borrow something from him.
'Let the dead bury the dead' that is a text to which I have given some attention of late, and I hope to profit by it in in the future." "Well, God bless you, Mr. Annesley!" "I thank you. We are delaying the boat, I fear. No" as Mr. MacNab made an offer to accompany him "I prefer to go alone. We have shaken hands already. The room is ready for Mr. Menzies, when he comes to-morrow. Good-bye."
They saw the mine engineer, a great bearded Scotchman named Menzies, come out of the engine house and blow his whistle for the cages to be lowered. At the same instant a tall, loose-framed young man with a clean-shaved, earnest face advanced eagerly towards the pit head. As he came forward his eyes fell upon the group, silent and motionless, under the engine house.
Indeed, I saw but little of the behavior of the men. I ran to Flora, clasping her in my arms, and we mingled our tears of happiness together. "Listen, men!" shouted Andrew Menzies. "I fully believe that this document is to be relied upon that the passage exists.
"My three chums want to be presented: Dick Farquhar, Charlie Grant, Sam Menzies. We're all Harvard men, seeing Europe in general and Scotland in particular, in our vacation. We've every one of us got Scottish blood in our veins, so we sort of feel we've earned the right to make your acquaintance.
