summary:
  The Runes were mostly drawn by my friend Mr. George Petrie of Kirkwall, and the drawings afterwards compared by Mr. Gibb with the originals in the building of Maes-Howe. Nothing could exceed the pains taken by Mr. Petrie and Mr. Gibb; and the drawings made by Mr. Gibb were on two occasions collated by him with the casts in Edinburgh, so that I have every reason to believe that they are as perfect representations of the original writings on the walls of Maes-Howe as can be hoped for, and not the less so that the gentlemen who made the drawings and collations were unacquainted with Runes.

  They say he is out seeking for young Thora Kinlay; but it seems clear to me that he has fled from the consequences of his foul crime. Said Mansie: 'Twas on a night like this--d'ye mind, Colin?--that the Undine went to pieces on the Gaulton Craigs.

summary:
  The group of old men who looked on, bore no inconsiderable resemblance to a party of aged tritons, engaged in beholding the sports of the sea-nymphs; so hard a look had most of them acquired by contending with the elements, and so much did the shaggy hair and beards, which many of them cultivated after the ancient Norwegian fashion, give their heads the character of these supposed natives of the deep. Vaughan, answered Magnus, is a name which I have some reason to remember; and, from what I have lately heard from my cousin Norna, that old man has a right to bear it.
