When the wherries were gone they resolved to go to Clanranold's house. But when they were within a mile of it they heard that General Campbell was there, which obliged them to retreat again to Rushness; from whence they set out in a little yawl or boat for the isle of Sky about the end of June, and were at sea all night. The next day as they were passing the point of Watternish, in the west corner of Sky, the wind being contrary, and the female frighted at turning back, they thought to have landed there, but found it possess'd by a body of forces; which obliged them immediately to put to sea again after having received several shots from the land.[59] [59] See ff. 530-534. From hence they went and landed at Killbride, in Troternish in Sky, about twelve miles north from the above mentioned point. There they also found a body of troops within less than two miles of them, whose commanding officer rode as far as Moystod or Mougestot, not far from Sir Alexander MacDonald's seat, near which place they landed. He there enquired of Miss Flora MacDonald who she was, and who was with her, which she answered as she thought proper. [The [Sidenote: _fol._ 139.] officer, however, would not be satisfied untill he had searched the boat. In the mean time the Prince was hid on shore, so near as to hear what passed].[60] [60] Stated in the sequel to be incorrect. Immediately after this scene was over the Prince parted with his female guide, and took to the hills, and travelled without rest 15 long miles[61] south south-east in women's cloaths till he came to Mr. MacDonald of Kingsburgh's house, where his female guide met him again, having gone a nearer way.[62] There the Prince got his first refreshment, and stayed till next day, towards the evening; when he set out from Kingsburgh's house, but would not, on any account, let the consequence be what it would, consent to put on women's cloaths again, having found them so cumbersome the day before. He went 15 long miles[63] to a place called Portree or Purtry, where again he met his female preserver, who had gone a different route, and which was the last time they saw each other. [61] Should be 7. See f. 144. [62] See ff. 145, 532, 533. [63] Should be 7. See f. 144. At Portree the Prince met Young MacLeod of Raaza or Raasa, and with him went directly to the island of Raaza, being [Sidenote: _fol._ 140.] about ten (or 6) miles in a small yawl or boat, being the only one to be got at that time. [Sidenote: 1 July] On the 1st of July he landed at a place called Glam, in Raasa, where he remained two nights in a miserable hutt, so low that he could neither sitt nor stand, but was obliged to lie on the bare ground, having only a bundle of heath for his pillow.
