Pip, thy wretched laugh, thy idle but unresting eye; all thy strange mummeries not unmeaningly blended with the black tragedy of the melancholy ship, and mocked it! The Gilder Penetrating further and further into the heart of the Japanese cruising ground the Pequod was soon all astir in the fishery.
Now, this hideous disaster threatened his pride at every turn worse, it threatened the one person in the world whom he really loved. Most fathers would have stormed at the boy when pleading failed, would have given commands with harshness, would have menaced the recalcitrant with disinheritance. Edward Gilder did none of these things, though his heart was sorely wounded.
Anthony listened, as the Enchantress Isis slipped past the Island of Roda, past Ghizeh, past old Cairo and still older Babylon, then out on to the broad bosom of the river where the Nile Valley lay bathed in sunshine from Gebel Mokattam in the east, to the Libyan hills haunt of departed spirits in the west. "Miss Gilder wants me to help, does she?" he asked at last.
At this intolerable assertion as he deemed it, Edward Gilder was reanimated. He sat rigidly erect in his, chair. In that frightful moment, it came to him anew that here was in verity the last detail in a consummate scheme by this woman for revenge against himself. "God!" he cried, despairingly. "And that's your vengeance!" Mary heard, and understood.
In an instant, he had gone to her, had caught her in his arms with, "Hello, dear!" smothered in the kiss he implanted on her lips. Mary strove vainly to free herself. "Don't, oh, don't!" she gasped. Dick Gilder released his wife from his arms and smiled the beatific smile of the newly-wed. "Why not?" he demanded, with a smile, a smile calm, triumphant, masterful.
In a very few days our boat would land us there, and we would try our luck again. "Not much doubt," Fenton added, speaking as always in French, "that this is Bedr's revenge on us. He must have told Rechid that Miss Gilder had mentioned his name saying she hoped he was leaving home. That hint of danger would be enough for any Turk." "It will be my fault, then," moaned Monny, "if he kills Mabel.
At the same time he managed somehow to learn all about Winn and his family, the raft and how it happened to be where it was, without giving a single item of information concerning himself in return. When Winn finally declared that he could eat no more, Mr. Gilder also pushed back his chair, and said: "Now, then, for business. First, I must tell you that you are in a very serious predicament.
"Take it to Smithson," Gilder continued, "and tell him that I wish him to attend to its being posted according to my directions at once." Again, the girl made her formal response in the affirmative, then left the room.
Her voice lowered to a quick pleading, and she bent toward the man at the desk. "Mr. Gilder," she questioned, "do you really want to stop the girls from stealing?" "Most certainly I do," came the forcible reply. The girl spoke with a great earnestness, deliberately. "Then, give them a fair chance."
Gilder, donning his rubber coat, a garment that Plater would have scorned to wear, left the clearing through another bushy thicket on the opposite side from that by which his confederate had entered it. An almost undiscernible path led him to the shore of the island that was washed by the main channel of the river. Here he struck into a plainly marked trail that followed the water's edge.
