 You see, I was the new-comer who might have heard
anykind of story from the other side. Also he had a definite rendezvous withSandy,
and would not fail to keep it.
Im going to join him on your island, and I
thinkthat one or the other of us wont leave it. That was the thing I most wanted to
knowabout, and it wasnt easy to get cross-bearings. Im quite content that he should
find his ownway to Hell.
I thought that thegang could be squared or scared.
I said that allthis shocked me, and Im hanged if I didnt get him to believe thatI
meant it.
I have collected all my evidence and
carefullyweighed it, and that is my verdict.
DIngraville is the leader now, and the rest must
follow, whetherthey like it or not.
I had to tell Sandy some of the details of Lombards
story, for hehad not heard them.
It is a man, he said, handing me the glasses. And
in spite of Miss Ludlow I think I couldscare Barralty. Both Sandyand I had had
amazing luck in life, but luck always turned in theend.
The mainquarrel now is not between Haraldsen and
the Pack, but betweenDlngraville and me.
We went early to bed, but before turning in I had
one word withHaraldsen about serious business. I opened my eyes and started on
another tack.
Down at the harbour there isJacob Gregarsen, who is
in charge of the motor-boat.
I will doas the old dog did this afternoon, and
snap back at my tormentors. Suddenly Inoticed that the ship was slowing
down.
Peter John stood very stiff, as if he expected
ascolding, but I wasnt inclined to scold. Now hes the cured beast, stronger and much
moredangerous than if he had never been sick. He seizedon Lombard, who was nearest
him, and hugged him like a bear.
So I agree with what I overheard Haraldsen say when
Iovertook you on the hill. Helooked half squire and half pirate, but wholly in
keeping with hissurroundings.
I insist that youstay at home, for this enterprise
of ours, I must tell you, will bevery difficult.
That was the thing I most wanted to knowabout, and
it wasnt easy to get cross-bearings. It was fire that somehow at the back of his
headhe dreaded for himself and his belongings.
