"His duty on board of the Bronx was to obtain information, and he procured a good deal of it, though not all of it was as reliable as it might have been." "Indeed!

"He is a gentleman in spite of the role he has been playing, and I am sorry he has been injured, though Mr. Sampson obeyed my order when he struck him down in the engine room."
Had he himself not seen Kenneth driving about the Bronx with Keralio at an impossible hour? Had not Helen discovered François conversing on intimate terms with his master?

"Good heavens!" exclaimed the first lieutenant, as he came out from his shelter. "You are wounded again!" "I must give up now, I fear," replied Christy feebly; and then he fainted.
