At daybreak Inverawe hurried off to the cave, and said to Macniven: "I can shield you no longer; you must escape as best you can".

Inverawe now hoped to receive no further visit from the vengeful spirit.

In this he was disappointed, for at the usual hour the ghost appeared, and in anger said, "I have warned you once, I have warned you twice; it is too late now.

We shall meet again at TICONDEROGA." Inverawe rose before dawn and went straight to the cave.

Macniven was gone! Inverawe saw no more of the ghost, but the adventure left him a gloomy, melancholy man.
