They went there, and there at the bottom of an abandoned coal-shaft lay the shattered remains of these lost cattle. The poor beasts had been driven blindfold over the fields and down into this pit, where, with broken limbs, and maimed, they all miserably died of hunger." "Yes," said one of the tenants, "and our cattle'd be driven into the Shannon, and drownded, and washed away."
Tilda described how the Doctor had shut her in his drawing-room, how she had escaped to the garden and found the boy there, and how 'Dolph had discovered the coal-shaft for them. "An' then Mr. Bossom 'e 'elped us out an' put us across the canal. That's all the 'and 'e took in it.
Some twenty of these seamen, black as they had come from the coal-shaft, were going ashore from a long-boat; while an electric launch was bringing twenty more from the outer creek where the nameless ship lay.
The pair of them have disappeared; and, further, I have convinced myself that their exit was made by way of the coal-shaft." "A small girl, you say? What age?" "About ten, as nearly as I can guess. A slip of a child, very poorly dressed, and walking with a decided limp." "I follow you this far," said Mr. Hucks, ruminating.
At all events, there he was, and in charge of the boat." "You saw him? Spoke to him?" "To be accurate, he spoke to me down the coal-shaft, as I was examining it. I judged him to be simulating drunkenness. But his voice was a cultivated one I should recognise it anywhere; and Mrs. Huggins, who saw and spoke with him, describes him as a long-faced man, of gentlemanly bearing, with a furred collar."
