What was his amazement, then, about half an hour after the doctor had left him, with orders to sleep if he could, to hear in the next stateroom a voice, which he had no difficulty in recognizing as Luther Barr's, utter the following words: "Then we start for the Sargasso Sea as soon as possible. You have done very well, Sanborn, and you, Malvoise. You need not be afraid I shall not reward you."
Air of Tinker's Reach you know; so clever," whispered Miss Kingsley leaning toward me behind Mr. Spence's chair. "Sure I shall break down." I nodded to give her encouragement. All this was somewhat bewildering, but I was able to follow the conversation. I was conscious too of Mr. Barr's eyes fixed upon me with intensity.
How erroneous such an opinion is, those of our readers who have followed the adventures of the Chester boys know. Mr. Luther Barr deserves a new paragraph. Long, lean and hollow cheeked, the term "gangling" fits him better than any other. Mr. Luther Barr's black suit hung on him as baggily as the garments of a cornfield scarecrow and Mr.
"What can they mean to do with us?" wondered Frank. "So far we've been treated like lords, but I don't like the idea of being penned up in this cabin," said Harry. Much more speculation was indulged in by the boys, but without their arriving any further at an accurate idea of what was likely to be their ultimate fate at the hands of Luther Barr's men.
During the Florida campaign the only articles drawn by the private volunteer soldiers were bread or flour, pork or beef, while only a few drew salt, sugar, and coffee. Major Richard M. Sands, of the Fourth Infantry, and Captain Barr's company of volunteers, amounting in all to one hundred and sixty men, were detailed for the protection of the fort, under command of Major Sands.
Luther Barr's men paid no attention to this outburst and the boys were too sick at heart at the complete failure of their venture even to hear Ben's words. Frank choked back his tears with difficulty and Harry gazed straight out over the sea. It was defeat final and complete.
Ben could scarcely suppress a grin of delight at the mention of old Barr's name. He was then on the right track. How lucky that the crafty old wolf was in New York, he thought. "As for your duties," went on the other, "they will be novel to you. I do not suppose you are at all acquainted with air-craft?" Ben shook his head, inwardly thinking, "If you knew what I know, my hearty."
Even old Sikaso shook his head mournfully and said that he didn't feel at all well. "I wonder how old man Barr feels?" said the irreverent Billy rubbing his red-rimmed eyes. The next minute there was a shout of astonishment from them all. Mr. Barr's blankets were empty and he was nowhere to be seen about the camp!
Avery, however the intention may have been disclaimed, did in fact overrule Steele v. A motion was made for a new trial, and before the rule came on to be heard, Patterson v. Before the case was again called for trial, the first volume of Barr's Reports had been published, in which the Supreme Court said: "The time is come, when the doctrine of Steele v. Co. must be exploded altogether.
"We shall see about that," said Frank, who knew it was useless to argue with the old sailor. As they worked feverishly, from time to time gazing at the sky in apprehension of the appearance of Luther Barr's dirigible, the adventurers had an illustration of the manner in which the old Spaniards guarded their treasure that came very near having a tragical termination.
