"Oh! don't bother about me," the man hastened to tell them. "I'm through with this sort of risky game. I can make a living at something that brings in easier returns; only set me free and I'll never come back here again, never, on your life."
Is it that you are quite sure that Monsieur Frost is confined on the ship?" "Quite sure, Madame de la Fontaine. I was on board The Southern Cross last night." "Yes, I know it; and I congratulate you upon your extraordinary success. Very well, then, I accept your condition. Monsieur Dan Frost returns; Monsieur le Marquis is released.
