How did Euby Brand escape?

 title: 'Lighthouse standing on a rocky shoreline amidst stormy weather'

Ruby Brand escapes the press-gang on multiple occasions. He is seen leaving town by the lieutenant and is pursued[1]. The lieutenant summons his men, but Ruby is strong and fast. Ruby runs to Minnie, but hears the gang approaching[1]. Ruby leaps off a cliff about fifty feet into the sea[1]. Ruby is a practiced swimmer, so he swims along the rocks to a cavern with a small hole where he climbs to the top[1].

Ruby encounters Balls, a sleeping seaman, and after a brief fight Euby flees towards Arbroath[1]. Later, Ruby encounters the press-gang again, but leaps up an 'almost perpendicular wall of earth,' jumps on the nearest sailor, then punches the lieutenant[1]. Despite Minnie's pleas, Ruby refuses to leave her, but kisses her hand and smoothing her golden hair as he evades capture and runs towards Arbroath[1].
