Land was discovered in lat. 66° 30' S. and long. 138° 21' E. With the exception of a few bare islets, the whole of this land was completely covered with snow. It was given the name of Adélie Land, and a part of the ice-barrier lying to the west of it was called C^ote Clarie, on the supposition that it must envelop a line of coast.
There was a click of an electric-light switch, a cry from Clarie Archman, the inner room was ablaze with light, and Jimmie Dale had edged forward again out of the hallway Sonnino, revolver in hand, was standing just over the threshold facing Gentleman Laroque and the assistant district attorney's son. Then silence a silence of seconds that were as minutes.
Stangeist, the Indian chief, the lawyer whose cunning brain had stood as a rampart between the underworld and a prison cell, was himself now in the Tombs with the certainty of the electric chair before him; and with him, the same fate equally assured, were Australian Ike, The Mope, and Clarie Deane!
Their last card! The safe swung open. Their last card was Clarie Archman, the son! He reached into the safe, took out an automatic, and placed it in his pocket. There was no necessity to go to the Sanctuary what he would need was here in duplicate, and it would be Jimmie Dale, not Smarlinghue, who played the role of the Gray Seal to-night.
Some said it was a compact and isolated mass, others and this was D'Urville's opinion thought these lofty mountains had a base of earth or of rocks, or that they might even be the bulwarks of a huge extent of land which they called Clarie. It is situated in 128 degrees E. long.
It'll make the hair stand up on the back of his neck fer a starter." "Aw, ferget it!" replied another voice. "Can the tee-ayter stunt! Clarie leaves the front door unfastened, don't he? An' dey'll be in dere in a minute now. Wotcher want ter do? Crab the game? He might hear us an' fix Clarie before we had a chanst, the skinny old fox! An' dere's the light now see!
Beat it on yer toes fer the front of the house!" The room was flooded with light. Through the portieres, that Jimmie Dale parted by the barest fraction of an inch, he could see Stangeist and another man, a thick-set, ugly-faced-looking customer Clarie Deane, according to that brief, whispered colloquy that he had heard outside. He looked again through the window.
This is what Captain Hull had done during this cruise; but on his next voyage he calculated on reaching a higher latitude, and, if necessary, going in sight of Clarie and Adelie Lands, whose discovery, contested by the American Wilkes, certainly belongs to the illustrious commander of the "Astrolabe" and the Zelee, to the Frenchman, Dumont d'Urville.
Clarie Archman had dropped into a chair, and had buried his face in his arms that were out-flung across the table. Then Laroque spoke again: "Do you see where you stand Clarie? Tell your story and it's the story that sounds like a neat 'plant' of your lawyer's to get you off. You only get in deeper with the jury for trying to trick them, see? Here's the evidence and it's got you cold.
