THE SEAFORTH NEWS
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1939
By this time he was unshelled, and
stood before the fire musing with a
face of drunken wisdom on the events
of the evening. What seemed chiefly
to 'him, was the character of Allan
M'Aulay. "To come over the Eng-
lishman so 'cleverly With his High-
land torch -bearers eight bare -
'breeched Rories for six silver candle-
sticks! it was a master -piece — a
tour -de -passe -4t was perfect legerde-
main—and tboe a madman after 011—
doubt greatly, my lord" (shaking
his head), that I must allow him,
notwithstanding his relationship to
your lordship, the privileges of a ra-
tional person. and either batoon him
sufficiently to expiate the violence
offered to my person, or else bring it
to a matter of mortal arbitrament, as
becometh an insulted cavalier."
"If you care to hear a ,Jong story,"
said Lord Menteith, "at this time of
night, I can tell you 'how the circum-
stances of Allan's birth account so
well for his singular character, as to
put such satisfaction entirely out of
the question."
"A long story, my lord," said Cap-
tain Dalgetty, "is, next to a good ev-
ening draught and a warm nightcap,
the best shoeing -horn for drawing on
a sound sleep. And since your lord-
ship is .pleased to take the trouble to
tell it, I shall rest your patient and
obliged auditor,"
'Anderson," said Lord Menteith,
"and you. Sibbald, are dying to hear,
I suppose, of this strange man too;
and I believe I must indulge your
curiosity, that you may know how to
behave to him in time of need. You
had better step to the fire then."
Having thus assembled an audi-
ence about him, Lord Menteith sat
down upon the edge of the four -post
bed, while Captain Dalgetty, wiping
the relics of the posset from his
beard and mustaches, and repeating
the first verse of the German psalm,
Alle Buten geister !ober den Herrn,
etc., rolled himself into one of the
places of repose, and thrusting his
shock pate from between the blank-
ets, listened to Lord Menteith's rela-
tion in a most luxurious state, be-
tween sleeping and waking.
"The father," said Lord Men-
teith, "of the two brothers, Angus
and Allan M'Aelay, was a gentleman
of consideration and family, being the
chief of a Highland clan, of good ac-
count, though not numerous; his
lady, the mother of these young men,
was a gentlewoman of good family, if
I may he permitted to say so of one
nearly connected .with my own. Her
brother, an honorable and spirited
young man, obtained from James the
Sixth a grant 'of forestry, and other
privileges, over a royal chase, adjac-
ent to this castle; ante in exercising
and defending these rights, he was so
unfortunate to involve himself in a
quarrel with some of our Highland
freebooters, or caterans, of whom, I
think, Captain Dalgetty, you must
have 'heard."
"And that I have," said the Cap-
tain, exerting himself to answer the
appeal. "Before T left the Mareschal
College of Aberdeen, Dugald Garr
was :playing the devil in the Garioch,
and the F'arquharsons on Deeside,
and the Clan Chattan on the Gordon's
lands, and the Grants and Camerons
in Morayland. And since tha't, I have
seen the Cravats and Pandours in
Pannonia and Transylvania, and the
Cossacks from tine Polish frontier,
and robbers, banditti, and ;barbarians
of all countries' besides, so that I have
a distinct idea of your broken H,igh-
landnten,"
"The clan," said Lord Menteith,
°with whore the maternal uncle of
;the M'Aulays had been placed in
feud, was a small sept of banditti,
called; from their houseiess state, and
their incessantly wandering annong
the mountains and glens, 'the Children
of the Mist. They are a fierce and
Maddy people, with the irritability, and
Wild and vengeful passions, proper to
men who have never ;known the re-
straint of civilized society. A party of
them day in wait for the ,unfortunate
\Varden of the Forest, ,surprised 'him
while hunting alone and unattended
and slew hint with every .circum-
stance of .inventive cruelty. They cut
;off his head, and resolved, in a brav-
ado, to exhibit it at the scasile of his
brother-in-law. The laird was absent,
and 'the lady reluctantly received as
guests, sten against whom, perhaps,
she was afraid to shut her gates, 'Re-
freshments were placed before the
Children of the Mist, who took an
opportunity to take the head of their
victim from the plaid in which it was
wrapt, placed it on the table, put a
'p'iece of ;brea'd 'between the lifeless
jaws, bidding thein do their office
non-, since many a ,good steal they
had eaten at that table. The lady, who
had been absent for some household
purpose, entered at this moment, and,
upon beholding her brother's head,
died like an arrow out of the house
into the woods, uttering shreik upon
shriek. The ruffians, satisfied with
this savage triumph, withdrew. The
terrified menials, after overcoming
the alarm to which they had been
subjected, sought their unfortunate
mistress in every direction, 'but she
was nowhere to be found, The miser-
able husband returned next day, and,
with the assistance of his people,
undertook a more anxious and 'distant
search, but to equally little purpose.
It was believed universally, that, .in
the ecstasy of her terror, she must
either have thrown herself over one
of the numerous precipices which
overhang the river, or into a deep
lake about a mile front the castle.
Her loss was the more lam'en'ted, as
she was six months advanced in her
pregnancy; Angus es Aulay, 'her eld-
est son, having been born about
eighteen months before.—But I tire
you, Captain Dalgetty, and you seem
inclined to sleep."
"By no means," answered the sold-
ier; "I ant no whit somnolent; I al-
ways hear best with my eyes slnit. It
is a fashion I learned when 1 stood
sentinel."
"And`I dare say," said Lord Men-
teith, aside to Anderson, "the weight
of the halberd of the sergeantof -the
round often made hint open them." .
Being apparently, however, in the
humor of story -telling, the young
nobleman went on, addressing him-
self chiefly to his servants, without
minding the slumbering veteran.
"Every baron in the country," said
he, '"now swore revenge for this
dreadful crime. They took arms with
the relations and brother-in-law of
the murdered person, and the Child-
ren of the Mist were hunted down, I
'believe, with as little mercy as they
had themselves manifested. Seventeen
heads, the bloody trophies of their
vengeance, were distributed among
the allies, and ,fed the crows upon the
gates of their castles. The survivors
sought out more distant w•.ilderneeaes,
to which they retreated."
"To your right !nand, counter-
march, and retreat to your former
ground," said Captain Dalgetty; the
military phrase having ;produced the
corresponding word of command; and
then starting up, professed he had
been profoundly attentive .to every
word that 'had been ,spoken.
"It is the custom in sumnnter," said
Lord Monteith, without attending to
his apology, "to send ,the 'cows to the
upland pastures to have the benefit of
the grass; and the maids of the vill-
age, and of the family, go there to
milk theist in the morning and even-
ing. While thus employed, the fee
males of this family, to their great
terror, perceived that their motions
were watched al' a distance by a pale.
thin, meagre figure, 'bearing a strong
resemblance to their deceased mis-
tress, and passing, of course, for her
apparition:When smite of the ;boldest
resolved to approach this faded form,
it fled from them into the woods with
e wild shreik, The 'husband, informed
of this circumstance, 'tante up to tile'
glen with some attendants, and took
his measures so well as to intercept
the retreat of the •unhap,py fugitive,
and to. secure the person of his un-
fortunate lady,' though her intellect
proved to be totally d'eranged. How``
she supported herself during ther
wandering in the woods, could not
be known—some supposed she lived
upon roots and wild !berries, with
which the woods . at drat season
abounded; but the 'greater part of the
vulgar were satisfied that she must
have,subsisted upon the milk ,of 'lite
wild does, ar 'been nourished 'by the
fairies, ar sup,ported in some manner
equally, marvellous, Her re-ap'pear-
ance was more easily accounted for.
She 'had seen from the thicket, the
nrflkfn.g of the cows, to superin'ten'd
which had been her sfavorite 'domestic
,employment, and the habit had ipre-'.
vail'ed even in her 'deranged state of
mind.
"In due season the unfortunate
,lady was delivered of a 'bo'y, who not
only showed no 'appearance of 'having
suffered from his mother's calamities,
but appeared to he an infant of stn
.common health 'and s'trengt'h, The
unhappy mother, after her confine-
ment, recovered her reason—at •least
in a great measure, abut never her
health and spirits. Arlan was her only
joy. Her attention to him was un-
remitting; an'd unquestionably she
must' have impressed upon his emery
mind many ,of those su'pers'titious
ideas to which his moody and enthus-
iastic temper gave so ready a recep-
ticee, She died when he was about 'ten'
years old. 'Her last words were spoken
to -him in 'private; but there is little
doubt that they 'conveyed an injunc-
tion of vengeance upon the Children
of the .Mist, with which he has since
amply complied.
"From this moment the habits of
Allan ll Aa lay were totally 'changed.
He had hitherto been his mother's
constant compan'i'on, listening to her
dreams, and 'repeating his own, and
feeding his imagination, which, prob-
ably front the circumstances p.reeed-
ing his birth, was constitutionally de-
ranged, with all the will and terrible
superstitions so common to the
mountaineers, to which his unfortun-
ate mother had 'become notch ad'dict-
ed since her brother's death. By diving
in this manner, the boy lead gotten a
tintiil, wild, startled Took, loved to
seek out solitary places in the won -Is,
and teas never so much terrified as
by the approach of children of the
same age. I remember, although some
years younger, being brought up here
iby my .father upon a visit, nor can I
forget the astonishment with which I
saw this infant hermit shun every
attempt I made to engage him iii the
sports natural to our age. I can re-
member his father bewailing 'his dis-
position to urine, and alleging, at the
same time, tha't it was impossible for
hint to take from his wife 'the comp-
any of the boy, as he seemed to be
the only consolation that remained to
her in this world, and as the amuse-
ment which Allan's society afforded
her seemed to prevent the recurrence,
at ,least in its full force, of that fear-
ful malady by which she had been
visited. But, after the death of ,his
smother, the habits and manners of
the boy seemed at once to change. It
is true he remained as thoughtful and
serious as 'before; and long fits of sil-
ence and abstraction showed plainly
that his disposition, in this respect,
was in no degree altered. But at other
times, he sought out the rendezvous
of the youth of the clan, which he
had hitherto seemed anxious to avoid.
He took share in all their exercises;
and, from his very extraordinary per-
sonal strength, ,soon excelled his 'bro-
ther and other youths, whose age
considerably exceeded his own. They
who had hitherto held hint in con-
tempt, now feared, if they did nbt
love hint; and, instead of Allan's be-
ing esteemed a dreaming, womanish,
and feeble-minded boy, those who en-
countered hint in sports or military
exercise, now complained that, when
heated 'by the strife, he was too apt
to turn .game into earnest, and to for-
get that he was only engaged in a
friendly trial of ,strength.—But I
speak to regardless ears," said Lord
hfenteith, interrupting 'himself, for
the Captain's nose now gave the most
indisputable signs that he was fast
locked in the arms of oblivion,
"If you mean the ears of that
snorting, swine, my lord," self! And-
erson, "they are, indeed, shut to any-
thing that you can say, nevertheless,
this place being unfit for more priv-
ate conference, I hope yott will have
the goodness to 'proceed, far Srbhald's
benefit and for mine. The history of
this poor young fellow has a deep anad
wild interest in it,"
"You must know, then," proceeded
Lord Menteith, "that Allan continued
to increase in strength and activity
till his fifteenth year, about . which
time he-assunsed a total independence
of character, and impatience of con-
trol, which much alarmed his surviv-
.fng parent. T -Ie was absent in the
woods for whole days and nights, wi-
der pretence o.f shunting, though he
did not a'l'ways bring home game. His
father was the more alarmed becausel
several ,of 'the C'hild'ren of the Mist,.
encouraged 'by the increasing trou'bles
of the state, had ventured bank to
their old 'haun'ts, nor 'did he think it
altogether safe to rette'w any attack
upon then. The risk of Allan,in his
wanderings, sustaininginjury from
t'hes'e vindictive freebooters, was a
perpetual source of apprehension.
"I was myself upon a visit to the
castle .when' this matter. was 'brough't
to a 'crisis: iAllan had been absent
since daybreak in the woods, .where
f- had sought 'for hint in vain; it was
a `clack starry night, and he did not
return.' His Blather. 'expressed the ut-
most ;anxie'ty, and spoke of detaching
a ,pa'r'ty at the dawn ,of the morning
in quest 'of hint; ,w'h'en, as we were
sitting at tem supper -table, the door.
suddenly ,opened, end A'l'lan 'entered
the room with a proud, firm, and
confident air. His ietractab'ility :of
temper, as well as the uns'e'ttled state
of this mind, had such an influence
•over his ,father, that he suppressed ail
other tokens of 'disp'leasu'r'e, excepting
the Observation that I had 'killed a fat
hock, and lead returned before :sunset,
While he supposed 'Al'lan, who had
'b'een on the hill 'ti'll midnight, had re-
turned with empty 'h'ands. 'Are you
sure of that?' said 'Allan fiercely;'
'here is something will tell you alt
other tale.' '
"We now observed itis 1tan'cfs were
bloody, and that there were spots of
blood on his :face, and 'waited 'the is-
tiue with impatience; when sud'd,eniy,
undoing the corner of his plaid, 'he
rolled down on the table a human
head 'bloody .and new ,severed, saying
at the same tine, 'Lie thou where the
head of a better man lay 'before ye.'
From the haggard fea'fures, and mat-
ted red hair and 'beard; partly grizzled
with age, his ;father and ethers pres-
ent 'recognized the head of Hector of
the Mist, a well-known leader .among
the outlaws, redou'bted for strength
and ferocity, who had been active in
the murder of the unfortunate Forest-
er, uncle to Allan, and had escaped
by a desperate defence and extraord-
isary agility, when so many of his
com'panion's were destroyed. We were
all, it may be believed', struck with
surprise, but Allan refused to gratify
our curiosity; and we only conjectur-
ed that he must have overcome 'the
outlaw after a 'desperate struggle, 'be-
cause we discovered that he .had sus-
tained' several wounds front• the con-
test. All mea's'ures were now taken to
ensure him against the vengeance of
freebooters; but neither wounds, nor
the 'positive command of his father,
nor even the locking of the .gates of
the castle and the doors of 'his apart-
ment were precautions adequate to
prevent Allan from seeking out the
very .person's to .whom he was pecul-
iarly. obnoxious. He made ,his escape
at night from the window of the
apartment, and 'laughing at his fath-
er's vain care, produced on one oc-
casion the head 'of one, and upon an-
other those of two, of the Children of
the Mist. 'At length these men, fierce
as they were, became appalled by the
inveterate animosity and audacity
with which Aflan sought out their
recesses. As he never hesitated to
encounter any odds, they concluded
that he 'must bear a charmed life, or
fight under the guardianship of some
supernatural influence. Neither gun,
'dirk, nor doulach '(quiver o arrows),
they said, availed aught against hint.
They ,imputed this to the remarkable
circumstances under Which he was
born; and at length five or six no.f the
stoutest caterans of the . Highland;
would have fled at Aliens halloo, or
the 'blast of .his horn.
"In the meanwhile, 'however, the
Children of the Mist carried on their
old trade, and did the 'M'Aulays, as
well as their kinsmen and allies, as
touch mischief as they could. This
provoked another expedition against
the tribe, in which I had my share;.
we surprised then effectually, by be-
setting at once the upper and under
passes of the country, and made such
clean work as is usual on these oc-
casions, burning and slaying right be-
fore us. In this terrible species of
war, even the females and the heep-
less do not always 'escape. One little
maiden . alone, who smiled upon Al-
lan's drawn dirk, escaped his verge•
ance u,pcm .try earnest entreaty. She
was 'brought to the castle, and here
bred up under the name-' of Annot
Lyle, the most beautiful little fairy
certainly—`that ever danced ,upon a
heath by moonlight. It was long ere
Allan could endure the presence of
the child, until it occurred to his jnt-
agination, from her features .perhaps,
that she slid not 'belong to the ,hated
bloodof his enemies, but had 'be-
come their captive in some of their
incursions: a circumstance not in it-
self impossible, bu't in which he 'be-
lieves as firmly as in 'holy writ. He is
p'arti'cularly 'delighte'cl by her skill in
music, which is' ,so exquisite that she
far exceeds the hest ,pereormters in
this country in playing on the .clairs-
bath, or harp. It was discovered that
this produced upon the disturbed
spirits o f Allan, in his gloomiest
moods, 'b'eneficial effects, similar to
those experienced - 'by the Jewish
monarch of old; and so ,engaging is
the temper of Arnot Lyle, so fascin
ating the innocence and gayety of ter
disposition, that she is considered and
treated in the castle 'rather ,as 'the,sis-
ter of -the proprietor, than as a depen-
dant upon his charity. Indeed, it is
impossible for any 'one to see her
without ibeing 'deeply interested by
the ingenuity, '1'i,veliness, "en'd sweet-
ness. of ;her ,disposition."
"Take scare, my Lord," said Ander-
son, smiling; 'there is 'danger ,in s'tt'clr
violent commendations. A1.'lan M'Au4-ti
ay, as your lordship ,d'eeeri'bes. hini,.'
Would 'pro've no 'very .safe
",Poo'ltl paohl" said ,Lora Men-'
Leith; laughing, yet 'blushing at - the
same 'tinge "Allan is not accessible,
to the passion of 'l'ove; and :far my-
self," said he more 'gravely, '5A,nno't's
unknown 'birth is a sufficient reason
against serious designs, ,an'd her one
;protected state precludes every
other."
"I•t is spoken tike yourself, my
lord," said IAnd'ersonr.—'But I trust
you will 'pro'ceed with your in'terest-
in'g story,"
"It 'is well-nigh 'finish'e'd," said Lord
'Menteitlt; "I have ,only to add, that
from the .great strength an'd courage
of Allan M'Aulay, from his energetic
and 'uncontrollable 'disposition, and
'fro'm an opinion 'generally entertained
and encouraged 'by. himself, 'tha't he
hold communion with supernatural
beings, end can .predict future events,
the clan pay 'a nrn'clt greater degree
of deference to him Than seven to his
brother, who is a bold -hearted rattl-
ing 'Highlander, but with nothing
which can possibly rival the extra-
ordinary character of his younger
'brother."
"Such a Character," said Anderson,
"cannot 'hut have the deepest effect
041 'tire minds of a Highland .host. We
must secure Allan, my Nord, at all
events. 'What 'b'etween his bravery
and 'his .se'cond' •sight"—
"H'ushl" said Lord Menteith, "that
owl is awaking."
'Do you talk of the second sight,
or deuteros'copia?" said the soldier;
"1 remember memorable '.Major Mun-
ro telling me how 'Murdoch Mack-
'enzie, !born in Assiut, a private gen-
tleman in a company, and a pretty
soldier, foretold the death of Donald
Tough, a Lo'haber man, and certain
other persons, as well as the hurt of
the Major himself at a sudden on:fall
at the seige of Trailsund."
"I have often heard 'of this faculty,"
observed Anderson, "but have always
thought those pretending to it were
either enthusiasts or impostors."
"I should be loath," said Lord Men-
teith, "to apply either character to
my kinsman Allan 'M'Aulay, He has
shown ;on many occasions too much
acuteness and sense, of which you
this night lead an instance, for the
character of an enthusiast; and his
high sense of honor, and manliness
of disposition, free him ,from the
,charge of imposture."
"Your lordship, then," said Ander-
son, "is a 'believer in his supernatural
attributes?"
"By no means," said the young
nobleman; "I think that he .persuades
that the 'predictions, which are, in
reality, the result of judgment and
reflection, are supernatural impres-
sions on his mind, just as fanatics
conceive the workings of their own
imagination to be divine inspiration—
at least, if this will not serve you,
Anderson, 1 have no better explana-
tion to give; and it is time we were
all asleep after the toilsome journey
of the day."
