There were murmurs of disappointment from the crowd. Half the names gone. Poor Camilla was ready to cry with disappointment. Just here Allard, one of the jury passed through the room and stopping a moment said to Camilla’s father: “The little Urso is admitted.” Nobody could believe it! There was some mistake! That mite of a girl taken in?
She was commanded by Vincenti Pinzon, and had a complement of eighteen men. Sir Clements Markham thinks that this Allard may have been trading to Coruna and have married and settled down at Lajes. There is also Guillermo Ires, an Irishman from Galway.
After this there was silence among the prisoners. "The chaplain Allard alone," said one of the Commune, "kept on muttering something." He was reciting, half aloud, the service for the dying. Père Ducoudray had his breviary in his hand. He gave it, as he passed, to the concierge of the prison. The captain of the firing party snatched it, and flung it on the fire.
"I'm afraid we will have to be going," said Dr. Dale, glancing at his watch. "The ferries are apt to be crowded at this hour, too. But we'll wish you all success at your new venture, Larry. If you always do as well as you did this afternoon, you'll soon be acquiring a big reputation." They all shook hands with Larry and Mr. Allard, and went out to where Dr. Dale's automobile was waiting for them.
The children of Anne Allard, moreover, brought a suit to establish their own legitimacy. The Avocat-Général was of opinion that the marriage contract between Michael Feydy and Mademoiselle de Dauplé should be declared void, because there was culpable carelessness on the father's part and on the girl's part alike.
Before Larry could think of a suitable retort they had entered the transmitting room, and he had to postpone his reply for the time being. Mr. Allard was already there. "How do you feel?" he asked them, in greeting. "Probably a trifle nervous?" "Just a little bit," Bob admitted. "I think we'll make out all right, though." "Good!" replied the manager.
These were all Officers and Sergts.-Major in the R.N.W.M. Police, and were recommended by the Commissioner for the positions named. Inspectors Jennings, Allard and Newson have since been promoted Superintendents, and Sergts.-Major Irvine and Mead have been granted commissions in the Force.
Among the little crowd on the shore who watch the Nina growing smaller in the distance are our old friends Allard and William, tired of the crazy confinement of a ship and anxious for shore adventures. They are to have their fill of them, as it happens; adventures that are to bring to the settlers a sudden cloud of blood and darkness, and for the islanders a brief return to their ancient peace.
"Who's game to do it?" "I'm with you!" exclaimed Bob. "We can see that Larry gets there all right, and maybe Mr. Allard will show us over the station. We were in such a hurry when we were there before that we couldn't see very much." "I'd like to go first rate," said Herb. "But I'm so far behind on my French that I'm afraid I'll have to stay at home and make up for lost time.
Allard needs one or two short bits to fill out the programme to-night, but I don't suppose you could do anything of that sort, could you?" "I'm afraid not," replied Joe. "I know two or three recitations that I learned for the elocution class, but I'm afraid that's about the full extent of my entertaining power.
