Like, the law and the ways of God, Achlin and his dam were not understandable to their primitive minds. Some f them got to their knees and prayed; others raised their hands to heaven and moaned or blasphemed. But above all round arose the croak- ing voice of old Ortega as he repeated his oracular "It is a visitation of God upon us for aur sins!" • The astonishment of the Double A men was equal to that of the Basques. To Melody, the dant was only another evidence of Acklin's ability to get what he went atter In Kildare it awakened strange emotions.
