Just to show the baffling nature of the problem, he says that it will be absolutely impossible, on the evidence available at present, to frame a charge against any Chinaman other than Wong Li Fu. Yet we know that he has at least four or five, and probably three times as many, accomplices." "Have the police yet obtained any real clew as to the whereabouts of the gang's headquarters?
It was Friday, the day before Christmas, and I thought that the holiday would be more satisfactory if I knew about this; though, to tell the truth, I had not worried much about the gang's coming since I had been so taken up with the tunnel. I had been so careless that I might have been surprised twenty times a day. It was a pleasant morning, and not very cold.
And now Molly Corney joined them, hastily bursting into the shop. 'Hech! said she. 'Hearken! how they're crying and shouting down on t' quay. T' gang's among 'em like t' day of judgment. Hark! No one spoke, no one breathed, I had almost said no heart beat for listening. Not long; in an instant there rose the sharp simultaneous cry of many people in rage and despair.
Suddenly one of them began to chant; and the rest took it up, half laughing, half shouting: Rough! Tough! We're the stuff! We want to fight and we can't get enough! And after that: Hail! Hail! The gang's all here! We're going to get the Kaiser! The crowd joined in, and the words of the prophet were completely drowned out. A moment later I heard a gruff voice behind me. "Make way here!"

"A hundred and sixty miles," said Blake. "And we have food enough for two days; say forty miles." "About that; it depends upon the snow."
If the last three days had been productive of nothing else, they had at least furnished her with the opportunity of studying the notebook she had found in the secret hiding place, and of making herself conversant with the gang's cipher; and she now set to work upon it. It was a numerical cipher.
"It's to swear to stand by one another, and never tell the gang's secrets, even if you're chopped all to flinders, and kill anybody and all his family that hurts one of the gang." "That's gay that's mighty gay, Tom, I tell you." "Well, I bet it is.
The Kid threw his arm sympathetically around the youth's shoulders and drew him away, while the others cut the ropes that held the victim of the rustler gang's cruelty. In a few minutes, Red got a grip on himself and could talk in a steady voice. "Reckon I'm alone now, Kid," he blurted. "Joe was all I had and they got him! I swear I'll bring those hounds to justice, or die a-tryin'!"
'The name only had slipped my memory. Tibu's gang's gallery is here. 'A lie, said Kundoo. 'There have been no galleries in this place since my day. 'Three paces was the depth of the ledge, muttered Janki without heeding 'and oh, my poor bones! I have found it! It is here, up this ledge.
