number of, apparently, some thirty or
forty, but our fears and the night may very

The largest part ran straight for our gate

side and scrambled down into the ditch
with intent to reach the line Of windows.
Little did they suspect that behind
each second one of those crouched stout
weaver accustomed to the use of arms with
a loaded musket at his shoulder. A third
and smaller number, not more than three
or four descended into the gully of Kirk

nerable parts of the Min house.
