When the journey through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona was over, and the train slowed into the station at Los Angeles, she had cause to remember this incident, for Millard was on the car steps, just in front of her.

One eye! Coronado thought of the face which had frightened him out of San Francisco, and wondered whether he were shut up in the Lolotte with it. "One eye?" he asked. "Short, stout, dark old gentleman? Indeed! I think I know him." Stepping to the door of a stateroom which he had already noticed as being kept closed, he tapped lightly.
I washed up hastily in my stateroom, and came out into the cabin perplexed as to what might occur within the next few moments. Yet whatever the result, there was no avoiding it.

The wind had died down and there was a delicious dampness in the air that smelt of salt. "Oh, how glad I am to get up here! All of you are so good to me. It seems a year since I went to my stateroom and I believe it is only a day and a night. Has anything happened since I disappeared?" "Nothing," answered Pierce.
