Then there was more delay, while somebody was found who knew him and could certify to his address, and it was nearly evening by the time he was allowed to go. It was also nearly evening when a messenger arrived at the barracks to report the death of a Sikh trooper by murder in the bazaar.
"Write," said Brooks, "'I hereby certify that my accusations against the late Pulaski Wade of Heavy Tree Hill are erroneous and groundless, and the result of mistaken identity, especially in regard to any complicity of his in the robbery of John Stubbs, deceased, and Henry Brooks, at Heavy Tree Hill, on the night of the 13th August, 1854." The man looked up with a repulsive smile.
It is rather tantalizing to think that he came so near; if he had been farther off I should have been more content. Now that is exactly the misery of the first mate. He is so near to being a skipper, so very near. He even carries continually in his pocket the official papers that certify that he is fully qualified to be a skipper. And yet, for all that, he is not a skipper.
"O my son," replied the Vizier, "know that the truth has appeared and that which was hidden is divulged. Thou art my brother's son, and I did all this with thee but that I might certify myself that thou wast indeed he who lay with my daughter on her wedding-night.
You will certify to their Highnesses that the arrival here and sight of such a fine fleet all together has inspired very great authority here and assured very great security for future things: because all the people on this great island and in the other islands, seeing the good treatment which those who well behave receive, and the bad treatment given to those who behave ill, will very quickly render obedience, so that they can be considered as vassals of their Highnesses.

"Answer the questions I put to you the other night, and certify to your answers; and of course you'll have to apologize to Captain Chester for your last night's language." "That of course; though you will admit it looked like spying. Now let me ask you, did he tell you who the lady was?" "No. I told him." "How did you know?" "By intuition, and my knowledge of previous circumstances."
What made it more ridculous was the facility with which everybody found a witness to certify his loss, "I had five thousand dollars," one would say; "ask the general, he will tell you if it is true." "True, as I am an honest man," would answer the general, "to wit, that I swapped with the judge my eastern notes for his southern ones."
What fly has stung ye I can't think; unless you want to get off by passing yourself on me for a lunatic; and I can't certify to that without calling in a magistrate. . . . Here, man, don't be a fool, but get down!" Nicky-Nan laid aside trowel and board on the platform, and lowered himself to the floor, very painfully. "Sit ye down here!" Doctor Mant jumped up and turned his chair about.
In the bill of lading the cargo is consigned to "order;" and on the back of the bill is this endorsement: "I hereby certify that the salt shipped on board the Nora is the property of W.N. de Mattos, of London, and that the said W.N. de Mattos is a British subject, and was so at the time of shipment.
