440 HISTORY OF THE OUTER HEBRIDES. 



his men. His subsequent operations were no less in- 

 glorious, his fugitive army being closely pursued by Lord 

 George Murray, and afterwards by the Duke of Perth. 

 The final dispersal of his followers forced Lord Loudoun, 

 with the Lord President and Norman Macleod, to seek 

 refuge in Skye, where they hoped to get further assistance 

 from Sir Alexander Macdonald. 



Of the three Mackenzie companies which were raised, only 

 two commanded, respectively, by Alexander Mackenzie of 

 Davochmaluag, and Colin Mackenzie of Hilton appear on 

 record in connexion with Lord Loudoun's campaign ; the-1

 The following night was spent at Mewboll, whence they 

 started for Glenboisdale, where they arrived on 2Oth April. 

 There Charles was joined by Clanranald, Lockhart younger 

 of Carnwath, and ^Eneas Macdonald. 



At the beginning of April, yEneas Macdonald had occa- 

 sion to go to Barra to receive a sum of about 380, to be 

 used in the cause of the Prince. He wanted a skilful pilot
