Excerpt from The Soldier of Fortune, Vol. 3 of 3
To my further astonishment, however, I found myself suddenly. Introduced from the solitude of the desert, to the society of my fel low-mortals. A turf fire was alight, and all the means and appliances at hand for the manu facture of whiskey. The still was at work. I had tumbled into a whiskey-bothie. The hardy smugglers were as much surprised at my nu wonted appearance, as I was for the moment gratified at finding myself, instead of smother ing in some kelpie's flow, in their warm and comfortable snuggery. They seized me rudely, almost before I could recover my feet or utter a sentence.
Ta ga'ger said a great burly fellow, who hold me firmly by the collar; ta cursed ga'ger amang huz. Hugh! Diel tak ye, mon; but ye're no blate to come amang us alter yon fashion.
