"I should reply that the one idea was improbable, and the other impossible," returned the lieutenant. "Well, I have at all events found out their secrets, and now I reveal them."

The sequel, as commonly narrated, is represented thus: The planters failed to return, evidently falling victims to the fury of the insurrectionists.

As no owners ever appeared, Girard sold the goods and put the proceeds, $50,000, into his own bank account.
