From the text:

When McMurdo awoke next morning he had good reason to remember his initiation into the lodge. His head ached with the effect of the drink, and his arm, where he had been branded, was hot and swollen.

McMurdo was blindfolded, and his hands were tied. Afterward he was diligently question and branded.... he was also promised a future "blooding" or task to perform.
