Standing out to sea until they were at a safe distance from the treacherous shore rocks, a careful examination was made. The binnacle had been left in St. Johns for necessary repairs, and the examination discovered that iron screws had been used to make the compass box fast to the cabin.

However, this uncertain state of things could be remedied by a strict examination into the circumstances of the case; therefore Cargrim set his mind to searching them out. He had been present at the inquest, but none of the witnesses brought forward by the bungling Tinkler had made any statement likely to implicate the bishop.

The sentence of the judges being thoroughly executed, a post mortem examination of the body of the dog was held, to establish his delinquency beyond all doubt, and to leave the Nez Perces without a shadow of suspicion. Great interest, of course, was manifested by all present, during this operation.

Roaring Dick, after a short absence for examination, returned to call off the rear. All repaired to the scene of obstruction. Bob noticed the slack water a mile or so above the jam. The river was quite covered with logs pressed tight against each other by the force of the interrupted current, but still floating.

So Ste made plans for going to Christ Church, was examined, accepted for the following term, and Dean Liddell arranged about rooms for him in the House.

"But, sir," cried Dagobert, "you see that my wife is out of her head. You cannot arrest her."

If I take your wife, she may perhaps be restored to you after a preliminary examination.

I took all he had on him from his boots to his cap, and I hid them in the bake-house in the Martin wood behind the farm-yard." The old man stopped. The officers, speechless, looked at one another. The examination was resumed, and this is what they were told. Once he had accomplished this murder, the peasant lived with only one thought: "To kill the Prussians!"

"Your woman will show me where I am to look;" and Madame Victoire, chattering in her half French and half English jargon, opened while the Captain examined one drawer after another; but, as Harry Esmond thought, rather carelessly, with a smile on his face, as if he was only conducting the examination for form's sake.
