Hour after hour passed away, however, without any sign being discoverable of the existence of living beings upon the island; and at length, just as the sun was setting, Ned once more filled upon the ship and headed for Gaunt's island, shrewdly surmising what he afterwards found to be the truth that the skipper and Manners had found means to rejoin the passengers.
A flash, a pistol shot, and an agonized voice cried loudly, "Murder! Help! Murder!" That voice she knew directly. It was Griffith Gaunt's. Ryder ran screaming, and alarmed the other servants. All the windows that looked on the mere were flung open. But no more sounds were heard. A terrible silence brooded now over those clear waters.
The ladies of Gaunt House called Lady Bareacres in to their aid, in order to repulse the common enemy. One of Lady Gaunt's carriages went to Hill Street for her Ladyship's mother, all whose equipages were in the hands of the bailiffs, whose very jewels and wardrobe, it was said, had been seized by those inexorable Israelites.
Tom Gaunt put down his pipe and journal, took his seat at the table, filled his mouth with sausage, and said: "You're goin' where I tell you." "I'm goin' to London."

Gaunt's partner, arrived from the United States. He was accompanied by fifteen men, and brought with him a complete outfit for the entire band.

"What'll the old chap say to Gaunt's enlistin'?" said Dyke. "Gaunt in?
