Joseph shook his head. He remembered Doctor Keene's expressed suspicion concerning the assault of the night before. "I do not understand you, sir; what is that?" "You know."

Then he paused! "That sand's wet," declared Arnold, who had observed closely. "Tide's away up and probably has seeped through the little sand intervening," declared Harrison. "I expected it."
