"Seen him! sartinly I did," answered the sailor. "He was not more nor four paces from me at the time I peppered him. I tell you he is gone and done for." The sheik shook his head, and again smiled incredulously. Further inquiries were interrupted by the discovery of the body of the Arab sentinel whom Golah had killed, and all clustered around it.
Two paces away he halted and faced the Americans, ready to speak if spoken to, equally ready to sit and ignore them if not greeted. McKay and Knowlton rose. "Herr von Schwandorf?" inquired Knowlton. "Schwandorf. Neither Herr nor von. Plain Schwandorf." The reply came in excellent English, though with a slight throaty accent. "Knowlton is my name. Mr. McKay. The third member of our party, Mr.
My person was not instantly recognised. He shrunk from my embrace as if I were an apparition or impostor. He quickly disengaged himself from my arms, and, withdrawing a few paces, gazed upon me as on one whom he had never before seen. These repulses were ascribed to the loss of his affection.
This he flung after the first, then he withdrew himself a few paces and lighted a cigarette, for a raw, pungent odor offended his nostrils. Both of the bawling bandits reeked of it, but their plight left him indifferent. They reminded him of a pair of horses he had seen disemboweled by a bursting shell, but he felt much less pity for them. His lack of concern made itself felt finally.

He suddenly retired some paces, as if dazzled by a heavenly vision. "Nonsense, nonsense!" he said, shaking his head, and passing his hand rapidly over his face. "All this is childishness.
