This done and my veracity established, we next proceeded to the closet where, according to the instructions embodied in this picture, the secret spring was to be found by which some unknown and devilish machinery would be released in the library below. To my great satisfaction the active part in this experiment was delegated to me. Durbin continued to be a mere looker-on.
That was not there. "Did you take up those rings?" "No, sir." "Did you see any one else take them up?" "No, sir; not till the officer did so." "Very well, Loretta, sit down again till we hear what Durbin has to say about these rings."
The master of the ship usually gives the tone to those whom he commands, and Captain Durbin found no difficulty in obtaining the help of his men in his kind intentions to the boy so strangely brought amongst them.
Captain Durbin brought Edward Hallett and placed him beside Emily, where, by bracing themselves against the wall of the state-room, they might prevent their being dashed about by the rolling of the vessel.
The coroner cast an uneasy glance in his direction; then he motioned Durbin aside and recalled Loretta. And now I began to be sorry for the girl. It is hard to have one's weaknesses exposed, especially if one is more foolish than wicked. But there was no way of letting this girl off without sacrificing certain necessary points, and the coroner went relentlessly to work.
He listened in vain for the faint voice for which he thirsted. Suddenly he bounded up the cabin steps and rushed to the post at which he knew Captain Durbin was most likely to be found in such a scene, crying as he went, "Emily! Emily! oh bring a light and look for Emily!"
Durbin is a machine a very reliable and useful machine, no doubt, yet when all is said, a simple contrivance of cogs and wheels; while I well, I hope that I am something more than that; or why was I a changed man toward her from the moment I saw the smile which marked this accused woman's good by to Francis Jeffrey.
Now they are simply terrible to me, and this one " "I understand," said the coroner, with a slight glance in the direction of Durbin. They had evidently planned this test together on the strength of an idea suggested to Durbin by her former action when the memory of this shot was recalled to her.
The shrill cry of a human heart in agony was heard above the bellowing of the winds and the rush of the waves, and without waiting for a question, without heeding even the miracle that the dumb had spoken, Captain Durbin hastened below, followed by his agitated summoner. As quickly as his trembling hands permitted, he struck a light and looked around for his child.
Durbin never gives credence to anybody whose name he has once heard associated with crime. "And this Pfeiffer was contracted to her? A man she had secretly married while a school-girl and who at this very critical instant had found his way to the house." "You shall read her letter. It was meant for me, for me only but you shall see it. I can not talk of him or of her crime.
