So saying, Mr Whyte thrust the packet into his pocket, and without further remark strode towards his dwelling; while Charley, as instructed, led his friends to their new residence not forgetting, however, to charge Redfeather to see to the comfortable lodgment of Jacques Caradoc.
"But the boats are still here, sir," objected Greer. "There seems to be no explanation," gloomed Caradoc. "If we gathered this up and took it to the men, they would thank us heartily," suggested Greer. "That's a fact," agreed Madden, setting to work at once. "Here, pile these plates on trays and we'll load 'em in the small boat."
Smith seemed to put his mind to Madden's question with an effort. "Which what did you say?" "Which way?" "What do you mean?" "The dragons, man, the dragons!" "Dragons right here!" Smith beat his broad chest, then waved his long arms about. "Everywhere don't you smell it?" The idea of smelling dragons confused the American. "Smell what?" "The whiskey!" shivered Caradoc.
"I was a strong man, and he was a weak and shrivelled creature; I could have tossed him over the rocks into the sea below. It required a very strong effort to control my fury, but I did do so, and I turned away without answering him, except by a cold, haughty look. I hated him, Caradoc, and I have hated him ever since.
Caradoc pursued his way unhesitatingly among the sleeping sailors, and presently came to another hatchway, out of which poured the rumble of machinery and a stream of light. Down this flight of steps, Smith moved with certainty, and a moment later Madden saw they were entering a great machine shop. A full complement of men worked at every lathe, table, drill or saw.
Returning northward, she steered close into the shore, the generals looking eagerly out for a fitting spot on which their legions might land. A low, sandy beach was at length perceived near Kalametra, with two lakes beyond it. It was exactly the spot Lord Raglan desired. Late in the evening the Caradoc returned.
Caradoc must enter the first, so that the wine should reach his neck, and the maiden must get into the other, and, exposing her bosom upon the edge of the vessel, invite the serpent to forsake the withered flesh of his victim for this fresh and inviting food. The vessels were to be placed three feet apart, and as the serpent crossed from one to the other. a knight was to cut him in two.
No, that's impossible. A crew can't salve their own vessel." "Yes, but we are not the crew of the dock," insisted Madden, "at least not the navigating crew. The men of the Vulcan were that. We are nothing but painters " "Oh, that's a quibble nothing but a quibble!" objected Caradoc.
'It is for this, went on the damsel, 'that you did slay Sir Caradoc, the brother of the Lady of the Marshes. 'Alas, then, said Sir Lancelot, 'there is no pity for me, and none of my dear friends shall learn of my shameful death. 'And so that you should suffer much ere you are slain, went on the damsel, 'they sent in the night the Coranians, the marsh fiends, to torture you.
At this sight, both boys stopped rowing, lifted the oars from tholes and began paddling noiselessly, canoe-fashion. "That must be the accommodation ladder," whispered Madden, "where the guard is." "Who are they afraid will board them?" queried Caradoc. "Mermaids?" "It is a strange precaution to take in the Sargasso," agreed the American. "It is going to make our entrance difficult."
