They had given up Kurtz, they had given up the station; Kurtz was dead, and the station had been burnt and so on and so on. The red-haired pilgrim was beside himself with the thought that at least this poor Kurtz had been properly revenged.
As soon as the unwieldy craft, which was progressing solely by the force of the current, approached to within a quarter of a mile of the Sit-chen, Frobisher rang his engines to half-speed, so that the gunboat barely made headway against the current, and thus awaited the junk's arrival.

The Lusitania was rounding Montauk Point when the wireless brought her to half-speed with a curt message: "Isabel Thorne and Pietro Petrozinni aboard Lusitania wanted on warrants charging conspiracy.
