Author of the 39 steps6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Hannay spent the night in a shepherd’s cottage and sets out the next morning to a different station with the intention of doubling back to put his pursuers of his scent. A child of ten received my ticket, and I emerged on a white road that straggled over the brown moor. The description could be Gatehouse Station, but it could also describe Mossdale (New Galloway Station) very well.Īn old station-master was digging in his garden, and with his spade over his shoulder sauntered to the train, took charge of a parcel, and went back to his potatoes. … I got out at the next station, a little place whose name I scarcely noted, set right in the heart of a bog. … We rumbled slowly into a land of little wooded glens and then to a great wide moorland place, gleaming with lochs, with high blue hills showing northwards. I fell asleep and woke at Dumfries just in time to bundle out and get into the slow Galloway train. ![]()
