"Good!" said Lady Basset, when the letter had been read to her; "and now what is that you are to tell me?"

The thing had come so quickly it had taken Captain Carter, like us all, wholly unawares. We had anticipated spying eavesdroppers, but not this open brigandage. No more than a minute or two had passed since Miko's siren in his stateroom had given the signal for attack. Carter had been in the chart room. Blackstone was in the turret.

You are probably aware that fuller's-earth is a valuable product, and that it is only found in one or two places in England? "'I have heard so.

How's this here affair going? Is aught being done? Is aught being found out? Is that detective chap any good? him from London, I mean. Is there aught new since this morning?"
He stopped for a little, opened every door, and assured himself that there were no eavesdroppers, and then, in a low whisper, he said to Hortebise, "Do you not see that there is but one obstacle to our success, and that is Andre?
