Nothing he could do. Another shot, and then another. He ran left towards the cave where he kept his boat. An easy climb from there, Someone lurched at him out of the shadow - this time evasion came too late. He went down, the other on top: 'Got you, now! Lie still, you bastard, or I'll - One over here, Bell!' Bearded Vercoe. Ross doubled and sharply stiffened. Vercoe toppled, still clutching, They rolled, Vercoe under. Running steps. Twice he hit the Customs Officer, wriggled free, rolled over as the footsteps came up. Vercoe shouted ‘Not me, you fool! Over there - he's just gone ! Ross at the cliff face turned as the newcomer caught him - the hard wooden stick of the gauger, They grappled. The stick clattered. A lucky swing with all his weight, The gauger fell in Vercoe's path, As he climbed, Ross heard them following. In the cove a small war, Lights dancing. Untended, the gorse fire had waned. climbing with all the knowledge of childhood, he pulled away. But a musket ball smacked into the rock beside him. Someone on the cliff taking careful aim. He reached the top, breaths gulping, crawled around the gorse, made diagonally for the first wall of his own land. He sucked the blood off his knuckles and spat. The two gaugers reached the top; lovely target if one had a gun. So the trooper must have thought, for the two men suddenly checked and Vercoe's voice bellowed an order across the cliff. It gave time for Ross to leap over the wall and begin to run doubled along the other side.
