The drizzling rain had become a downpour, and it was dashed into our faces in sheets. The cold was increasing. Our hands were stiff and numb. Somewhat after midday George threw down his pack.

With this we thoroughly examined the cave, and our search was rewarded by the discovery of a flask of powder, apparently dropped by one of the men who had escaped from the fort. We also found an axe and a long sheath-knife. Both were likely to prove very useful. Altogether we were very thankful that we had decided on returning to the fort.
The news spread like a flash, for, contrary to general custom, the Frenchman held an auction of the dead man's kit, he had no friends at St Malo or Miquelon, and everything was spread out on the top of the house, from his red knitted cap to the leather belt with the sheath-knife at the back.
A sharp sheath-knife cuts deeper on a slip than a dull one; but that's no reason for to hack the edge off over a capstan bar."

But his wandering eye caught sight of a Morocco sheath-knife above them on the wall, and a moment later he had the point of it under the steel-bound lid, and as he pried it flew open with a snap. He waited, listening, and lighting matches, while Frank went through the papers, with nervous and agile fingers, mumbling the inscriptions as she hurriedly read and cast them away from her.
"I think, instead, I had better get a dry suit of clothes. He cannot be very dangerous. I have my sheath-knife if but there is no fear. I can handle him!" "Run no risks, Stair.
