Dutch name for those brokers who find freight for ships, and give notice to merchants of the ships that are ready to sail, &c.

Cargill, Donald, one of the leaders of the Covenanters, was born in 1610. He was educated at St Andrews, and afterwards attached himself to the Protesters. He was soon after appointed one of the ministers of Glasgow, and made himself obnoxious to government by his open resistance to their measures. Compelled to remain at a distance from his charge, he ventured back to celebrate the communion and was arrested, but was liberated at the instance of some of his private friends. He was afterwards wounded at the battle of Bothwell Bridge, and fled to Holland, where he remained a few months. On his return he joined Richard Cameron in publishing the Sanquhar declaration (see Britain, p. 432), and was immediately after apprehended. He was tried at Edinburgh for high treason, and beheaded on the 27th July 1681.
