"Blowitz was killed shortly after the tug gave up the chase." "How?" "The boiler blew up when the tug was trying to tow the derelict in, and he and several of the crew were burned to death. The survivors floated on the wreckage until they were picked up. So I have nothing more to fear from Blowitz. But I called to know if you boys, and the young ladies, Mr.
See that they get home safe." "Why, aren't you boys coming too?" asked Nellie, in some surprise. "Not now," replied Jerry. "Why not?" "I think we'll go back to the foot of the cliffs and see if we can't find the man to whom Blowitz was talking. I don't like the way he acted, for that certainly was a cry for help, and there may have been foul play!"
At last a period of comparative quiet set in, and though gentlemen of the Press were still anxious to extract information from me, nothing further appeared in print as to M. Zola's whereabouts until the 'Times' Paris correspondent, M. de Blowitz, contributed to his paper, early in the present year, a most detailed and amusing account of M. Zola's flight from France and his subsequent movements in exile.
There was also, aboard the brig, some valuable papers, and a considerable sum in gold, that was to go to a client of ours. After the ship was loaded I learned that Blowitz sent some mysterious boxes aboard. They came from Boston, I understand. "Those are the boxes we saw in Cresville!" exclaimed Bob. "What's that?" asked Mr.
It looked as if some crime had been attempted, and evidence pointed to Blowitz. Making as quick progress on the return trip as the carrying of a cap full of sea water would permit, Ned held it so Jerry could sprinkle some drops on the man's face. He stirred and seemed to be murmuring something. "We ought to have some fresh water for him to drink," said Bob.
Maybe the shadows deceived us, and the man did not fall, for the cloud over the moon made things black. But it will do no harm to take a look, and then we'll be satisfied." "If we find him, what will we do with him?" asked Bob, who had a habit of looking ahead. "Let's find him first," said Jerry. "Maybe it is some man who works for Blowitz, and who would not do just as his boss wanted him to.
Here!" and he clapped his hands to summon the waitress, who soon returned with some cups of cold chocolate. "Now to business," went on Mr. Blowitz, after a pause. "Did I understand you to say you had hired that large motor boat?" "We have; for several weeks," answered Jerry, who, by consent of Ned and Bob, had been elected spokesman.
I happen to know that Masters has made a success of his paper and it would be just like him to go to the Congress of Berlin. What was he doing there?" "Oh, nothing in particular. Merely corresponding with his paper, and, in the eyes of many, eclipsing Blowitz." "Who is Blowitz?" "Mon dieu! Mon dieu!
It denounced Blowitz as being one of the creatures of the late Duc Decazes, as wilfully ignoring and concealing for interested purposes of his own, a number of matters that should have found their way into the columns of the Times, and urging the managers of the latter to send to Paris some fitter and more impartial person, who would be better able to keep the great English newspaper au courant of what was going on below as well as above the surface, than so unscrupulous a person as M. de Blowitz.
"Because, I want a chance to think some matters over," replied Jerry. "I believe Mr. Blowitz is up to some game, and I want to see if I can't discover what it is." "It seems a mean thing to say," added Rose, "but I don't like that man, in spite of the fact that he has been kind to us.
