Then he hastened to Captain Barcus with the news, and Captain Barcus and the whole crew gathered around Charley and welcomed him as they would have welcomed a returned hero, to his great confusion. "Now a wireless to your father!" beamed Captain Barcus, when Charley had been duly greeted. Mr.
And I'll put in the testimony of the last to talk with him, the mate, and the seaman, and what he said to Barney MacFarland. I'm going now to write my log while 'tis all fresh in my mind." And leaving Mr. Wise, Captain Barcus went to his room to write in his log a true report of what apparently had happened, and the account that was finally to be given Mr.
"Where would we look?" asked Captain Barcus. "At the harbours where we stopped! At Pinch-In Tickle, or whatever you call it! Everywhere! Everywhere!" plead Mr. Wise. "'Twould be a waste of time and fuel, and a fool's chase," said Captain Barcus quietly. "There was no way for the lad to go ashore but by the ship's boat, and 'tis plain he didn't go ashore in the boat at any port we stops at to-day.
"You seem to be thinking more of your job than of the poor lad that's lost," and Captain Barcus, who had risen to his feet, looked down in contempt upon the cringing man. "My log will say he was last seen leaning over the starb'rd rail. That he was not at dinner nor at tea, and that you didn't miss him till after tea and long after dark, though 'tis likely he was lost overboard before dinner.
Cowards, however, were not lacking, who foresaw that the accusation which Chilo had thrown into Cæsar's face might have the worst result possible. In conclusion, there were those who through humanity begged Tigellinus to stop persecution. "See whither ye are going," said Barcus Soranus.
Some one would have seen him if he had, and every man of the crew says he didn't." "Then he's on the ship somewhere!" shouted Mr. Wise excitedly, springing to his feet. "He's hiding! He's hiding somewhere on the ship!" "He's not on the ship," said Captain Barcus gravely. "She've been searched from masthead to hold, and he's not on the ship. There's no doubting the poor lad has fallen overboard."
If he falls overboard, that's the last of he. And sayin' this, and knowin' Captain Barcus the way I knows he, he keeps right on to St. John's, and don't come back till next June or July month." "If the ship don't come," broke in Charley, suddenly startled into his old fear, "what can I do? What will become of me?" "Well, now!" and Skipper Zeb broke into a hearty laugh.
If ye think that after every spectacle the Christians do not increase, become coppersmiths, or go to shaving beards, for then ye will know better what people think, and what is happening in the city." "He speaks pure truth, by the sacred peplus of Diana," cried Vestinius. But Barcus turned to Petronius. "What is thy conclusion?" "I conclude where ye began, there has been enough of bloodshed."
"Do you mean he's been lost at sea?" and the terrified Wise sank limply into a seat. "Aye," admitted Captain Barcus, "lost at sea." "Then turn back! Turn back and look for him!" demanded Mr. Wise, again on his feet in a frenzy of excitement. "Why don't you turn back and look for him?" "Keep your senses, man," admonished Captain Barcus.
Charley was nowhere to be found, and in a state of panic he reported the disappearance to Captain Barcus. The Captain immediately instituted an investigation, and a minute search of the ship was made, but nowhere was Charley to be found, and with every moment Mr. Hugh Wise grew more excited. Members of the crew were called before the Captain and Mr. Wise and quizzed.
