We expected to find Scotch regiments here, as there were in the old times, and we had hoped to join them; but whether it is a company or regiment, it makes but little difference, so that we are with those who speak our tongue." "Very well, then.

If you come to the Lion Inn, at nine o'clock, you will see my father there.

If you know of any others in the same mind as yourselves, and willing to join, bring them with you." "There are ten or twelve others who came over in the ship with us, two days since, and I have no doubt they will be fine and glad to join." "Well, see if you can hunt them up, and bring them with you." On returning to the inn, they found that Mr.Jervoise had already received his commission as captain, and, by ten o'clock, fifteen young Scotchmen had been sworn in.

All of them had brought broadswords and dirks, and Captain Jervoise at once set to work buying, at various shops, iron head pieces, muskets, and other accoutrements.
During the next three days ten other English and Scotchmen had joined, and then a ship came in, from which they gathered another four-and-twenty recruits.

Arms had already been purchased for them, and, on the following day, Captain Jervoise marched off to Malmoe with his forty-nine recruits.
