to
Malmoe, or some such place as that, where there is a big camp, and
walk up to an officer and say we wish to enlist."

"Oh, that is all very well," the other grumbled; "but, if he did
not understand us, we should be no better off than before."

"Are you wanting to enlist?" Harry said, going up to them.

The men gave an exclamation of pleasure, at being addressed in
their own tongue.

"That we do, sir. If you can put us in the way, we shall be
grateful."

"That I can do easily," Harry said. "My father is raising a company
of Scotch and Englishmen, for the regiment commanded by Colonel
Jamieson. This will be far better than joining a Swedish company,
where no one will understand your language, and you will not be
able to make out the orders given. My father will give each man who
joins a free outfit."

"That is the very thing for us, sir. We expected to find Scotch
regiments here, as there were in the old times, and we had hoped to
join them; but whether it is a company or regiment, it makes but
little difference, so that we are with those who speak our tongue."

"Very well, then. If you come to the Lion Inn, at nine o'clock, you
will see my father there. If you know of any others in the same

"There are ten or twelve others who came over in the ship with us,
two days since, and I have no doubt they will be fine and glad to
join."

"Well, see if you can hunt them up, and bring them with you."

On returning to the inn, they found that Mr. Jervoise had already
received his commission as captain, and, by ten o'clock, fifteen
young Scotchmen had been sworn in. All of them had brought
broadswords and dirks, and Captain Jervoise at once set to work
buying, at various shops, iron head pieces, muskets, and other
accoutrements.

During the next three days ten other English and Scotchmen had
joined, and then a ship came in, from which they gathered another
four-and-twenty recruits. Arms had already been purchased for them,
and, on the following day, Captain Jervoise marched off to Malmoe
with his forty-nine recruits. Harry accompanied them, Charlie being
left behind, with his father, to gather another fifty men as the
ships arrived.

A week later this number was obtained, and Charlie started with
them for the camp, Sir Marmaduke accompanying them on horseback, in
order to aid Charlie in maintaining order among his recruits. He
had already fixed upon
