All these men had an unkempt look about them, they looked like they were used to living rough. They did not care that they were going to be handing Una to a brutal and cruel person—her father. All these men were concerned about was getting paid for delivering her so that they could make their way to the nearest ale house, to drink away the money they will make from this bounty. Una was terrified at the thought of being delivered to her father, she knew that he would torture her and Fenella for helping her escape from him in the first place. After he had made them suffer with a severe beating he would then make it plain and clear that she was going to marry the big brute of a sheep farmer—Ewan Davis. She could not believe that she was going to be forced to marry a man she did not love. All so that her father would be gaining a new business partner in Ewan. Her happiness was not something that her father cared in the least about. She thought of her true love Callum, wondering where he was and if he would be able to save them before it was too late!

Dillan and Ronnie removed them from the back of the cart and then tied them to a tree, one at each side of the tree. At least they were able to talk to one another and comfort each other a bit. Jimmy had a big fire going with a pot of stew, it was the pot of leftover stew from the women's campsite that he was cooking up. The men sat around the fire smoking and drinking and making their plans. The stew was poured out, Ronnie poured two bowls for the women and brought them over to them.

“Now I am going to untie your hands lassies so you can eat this great stew of yours. Just behave yourselves or you might make my brother Dillan angry again and you don't want that. So behave and eat your stew with no nonsense, here you go.” He handed the women each a bowl of stew after he had untied their hands. Una was rubbing her wrist where there was red marks around her wrists where the rope had been.

“We will behave Ronnie, you are so much nicer than that brute of a brother Dillan. He tied the rope so tight my poor wrists are so sore. Could you make sure not to tie them so tight when you retie them please. Look at my poor wrists” pleaded Una to Ronnie softly. “Sure be quiet now and eat your stew—I will not tie them too tight I promise” said Ronnie back to Una.

The two women sat bound once more to the tree back to back in their captures camp, not knowing what these men of low morals had in store for them. The men sat around the campfire drinking Keary's apple cider with large disgusting gulps, while puffing on pipes and discussing what they will do when they get the bounty they are hungrily anticipating. Dillan came over and untied Fenella from the tree and led her roughly over to where the cart was ordering her to get into the back and lie herself down. Both women tried frantically to plead with the men and leave them both unharmed—but instead just deliver them to Una's father. The women were told to silence themselves or they both would be beaten. Una cried out begging the men to stop as they prepared to rape Fenella in the back of the wagon. Ripping open the front of her dress to expose her large breasts. This sent the men into a frenzy, they began to fight within themselves who was going to mount Fenella first. After some fist fighting they agreed to draw straws and the one with the shortest straw would go first. They would continue to do this until the order of men was decided.

Morgan won the straw draw, which he had fixed so that he would win. He climbed onto the cart and layed down beside Fenella, she had her hands bound above her head and her mouth was now gagged. She lay there with her breasts exposed, terrified of the ordeal that was going to take place. Morgan shouted to the other men to make themselves scarce, he wanted some privacy while he had his time with the wench. He suggested that they go fishing, to catch some fish for them to feast on after they had finished with the wench. He said he would come down and fetch the next man when it was his turn (that being Dillan). The other men made their way down to the river leaving Morgan and the two women at camp. Once they were gone, Morgan started to untie Fenella and told her to untie Una while he prepared horses for them to make their escape. Una had already managed to untie her hands herself. Just then Ronnie reappeared asking what was going on? With that Una picked up the cast iron frying pan lying beside the fire pit and hit Ronnie over the back of the head with it. He went down like a sack of potatoes, and was out cold. Morgan told the women that they must make a hasty retreat. He explained that he was a man that collected bounties, he usually hunted down escaped convicts or criminals. But he was not in the habit of raping women nor did he want to start. He told the women that he had joined the other men a day before capturing the women.

When he heard what the other men were intending to do with the ladies, he felt that he must join them to save the women from what these evil men planned for the women. He believed that if these men handed these women over to Una's cruel father, he would indeed treat her harshly, probably beating her to an inch of her life and forcing her to marry the man he had chosen for her. He could not in good conscious be part of this. He decided he would help these women to escape to safety or into the arms of those that loved them. He tied the other horses of the men together so that they would not have any horses to follow them with. He and the two women and the horses made their quick getaway in the direction of Dumbartonshire still a two days ride from there. The women kept thanking Morgan for deciding to help them in their dire situation. They did not want to think what might have came to play if the other men had their way. They rode hard into the next day it was about noon when they finally decided they needed to rest the horses and themselves.
