They seem to have seen nothing to raise a doubt about Furneaux's conclusion that Van Diemen's Land formed a part of Australia, so no attempt was made to settle the question, and they sailed for New Zealand on the 30th, meeting with a "perfect storm" from the south; the thermometer rose: "almost in an instant from about 70 degrees to near 90 degrees, but fell again when the wind commenced, in fact the change was so rapid that there were some on board who did not notice it."
Martin looked up from his desk when they appeared, and requested his daughter to check a bundle of postal orders. He was about to reach the street quick on Furneaux's heels when the little man turned suddenly. "By the way, don't you want a shilling's worth of stamps?" he said. Grant smiled comprehension, and went back to the counter, where Doris herself served him.
No, the missing rifle was not in the gun room. Somehow the notion was forming in certain minds that it could not be there. Indeed, the keeper's confusion was so marked that Furneaux's glance dwelt on him for a contemplative second. Winter drew the local Inspector aside. "This inquiry rests with you in the first instance," he said. "Mr. Furneaux and I are here only to assist. Mr.
Though Furneaux's manner was grave as an owl's, a certain gleam in his eye gave the requisite sting to the concluding words. Trenholme, at any other time, would have delighted in him, but dropped his bantering air forthwith. "I don't mind exhibiting my work," he said. "It will not be a novel experience. Come this way."
It would be no easy matter to discuss Furneaux's suggestion with any one in Fortescue Square without letting his sister into the secret that the visit was necessitated by considerations of his own personal safety. Mrs. Paxton's eyes were sparkling with a new interest. "I had no idea you were on terms of such intimacy with the family," she cried.
The discovery was Mr. Furneaux's, not mine. When we came here this morning, and ascertained that you had been out at a late hour last night, we asked your man if he could enlighten us as to your movements. He did so. To the best of his belief you dined at a club, and occupied a stall at Daly's Theater subsequently.
"And how was the wine?" went on Tomlinson, with an eye on the little man. Furneaux's features were crinkled in a Japanese smile. He wanted to kick Winter, who was quivering with suppressed laughter. "I never expected to find such vintages in a house of the mauvais riches," he said. "Perhaps you don't speak French, Mr.
Burney was then sent off with a party of marines in search, and after a time discovered the missing men had been all killed and some of them eaten by the Maoris. Portions of the bodies were found and identified Rowe's hand, by an old scar, Thomas Hill's hand, had been tattooed in Otaheite; Captain Furneaux's servant's hand; and midshipman Woodhouse's shoes were found, and a portion of the boat.
"I'll take you," he said. "The artist?" "No." The Jerseyman shook his head. "Police Constable Farrow?" ventured Winter again. Furneaux's dismay was so comical that his colleague shook with mirth. "I wanted a new silk topper," wheezed Winter. "Silk topper be hanged. I meant a straw, and that's what you'll get. But how the deuce did you manage to hit upon Farrow?"
I sus-sus-saw the picter, an' was on'y a-teasin' of 'im, like a sus-sus-silly woman." "Exactly. Yet he heaps coals of fire on your head by declaring that you are the best cook in Hertfordshire! Is that true?" Furneaux's impish grin was a tonic in itself. Eliza dropped the apron and squared her elbows.
