The Scottish Chiefs

CHAPTER X
7/14

The one nearest to us is the safest for you.

A staircase from the closet you have just left will lead you directly into the chapel.

When there hasten to the image of the Virgin, and slip aside the marble tablet on the back of the pedestal: it will admit you to a flight of steps; descend them, and at the bottom you will find a door, that will convey you into a range of cellars.
Lift up the largest flag-stone in the second, and you will be conducted through a dark vault to an iron door; draw the bolt, and remain in the cell it will open to you till the owner enters.

He is the prior of St.
Fillan's and a Murray.

Give him this golden cross, which he well knows, as a mark you come from me; and say it is my request that he assist you to gain the sea-shore.
