"Nothing will make me believe that Andrius is the solely responsible person for this last development," said Copplestone, moodily. "There were other people on board cleverly concealed. And what are we going to do?" Audrey had stepped away from the circle of light made by the lanthorn and was gazing steadily in the direction which Chatfield had taken.
If Copplestone had the least shadow of doubt remaining in his mind as to this conclusion, it was utterly dissipated when, peering cautiously round the corner of his hiding-place, he saw Addie disappear within the old sail-loft into which Andrius had betaken himself. Of course, she had gone to join her fellow-conspirators.
You keep a civil tongue in your mouth I ain't done for yet, noways! You let me get off this here place, wherever it is, and within touch of a telegraph office, and I'll make somebody suffer!" "Andrius, of course," said Copplestone. "Come now, he put you ashore before he sent us off, didn't he? Why don't you own up?" "Never you mind, young feller," retorted Chat-field.
My own bullet, I'm sure, touched him, and Tayoga is in pursuit, though the fugitive has a long lead." "We'll leave it to Tayoga, because we haf to," said Mynheer Jacobus. "If anybody can catch him the Onondaga can, though I think he will get away. But come now, we will talk to Hendrik Martinus und Andrius Tefft who hass heard the shots und who iss coming back.
"Seeing that she's here in Norcaster and in touch with those two, what else can I think?" replied Copplestone. "It seems to me that they got in touch with her by wireless and that she removed the gold in readiness for her father and Andrius coming in here by that North Sea tug.
"I'm done with all this and I want to clear things up, whatever comes of it. Well I say we fixed that up with my brother-in-law." "His name his real name, if you please," inquired Vickers. "Oh ah! well, his real name was Martin Andrius, but he'd another name for the stage," replied Addie. "We gave him the papers and arranged for him to go down to Scarhaven to my father.
"I am under orders," said Andrius, with another smile. "Whose orders?" persisted Vickers. "Look here it's no use trying to burke facts. Who's on board this vessel? You know what I mean. Is the man who calls himself Squire of Scarhaven here?" Andrius shook his head quietly and gave his questioner a shrewd glance. "Mr. Vickers," he said meaningly, "I know you! You are a lawyer though a young one.
"The fact is," she went on suddenly, "Captain Andrius is my husband. But nobody knew that not even my own father. We've been married three years I met him when I was crossing over to America once. We got married we kept the marriage secret for reasons of our own. Well, he met me in London the Sunday after Greyle's death, and I showed him the papers which were in Greyle's pocket-book.
Copplestone and Audrey, having made a breakfast from the box of provisions which Andrius had been good enough to send ashore with them, had climbed to the head of the cliff after Vickers, and they were presently astonished beyond measure to see him returning with Chatfield under outward signs which suggested amity if not friendship.
"Then," said Andrius, with a polite inclination of his head and shoulders to Audrey, "the truth is that everything of the Scarhaven property belongs to this lady?" "Everything!" exclaimed Vickers. "Land, houses, furniture, valuables everything.
