The Searchers (Classic Reprint)

MY friend keene-leslie has often urged me to tell the story of the strange experiences which befell us a few years ago. I would willingly have turned the task over to him, but he is a busy man in his peculiar calling, and I could not expect him to devote his hard won snatches of leisure to the chronicling of his own or other folks' adventures. After procrastinating as long as I decently could, at last I gave my partner in adventure a promise that I would tackle the story as soon as I could bring myself to remain long enough indoors. My bondage held compensations, for it was my good fortune to write this narrative in a well-be loved corner of the earth, at a library window which frames a picture of an old, bird-haunted garden; in the middle distance the sun-shot links of a Highland river; and beyond, heaved against the clouds, the great shoulders of the mountain-wardens enclosing the hori zon above the long Spey valley.
