Halloran, the comedian at the same theatre, was sitting in his room half asleep over a half-emptied rum bottle. He always resorted to this course to drown his sorrows when he was laid off. An hour later the two men were driving with lightning-like rapidity toward the direction of Beechwood.
But they knew it to be a waterless waste for at least four days' journey how much more it was impossible to say hence the camels, and hence also the numerous small barrels of water which formed an equally important part of the tug's cargo. There were four white men in the party Halloran, his younger brother Frank, Haussmann the German lieutenant, and a friend of the latter named Haupt.
It was from Mary Halloran, and in these words: "MY SWEET FRIEND, I saw Mr. Clement last night at the opera. He had a great deal to say about you, and uttered many flattering compliments on your beauty. He says that he would like to meet you to-morrow evening, and will be at the corner of Eighth and Pine streets at half past seven o'clock. Can you get away at that time, without exciting suspicion?
"You were gone a good while," he said. The locket had slipped from his fingers and hung lightly on its steel chain, swinging a little as he bent to the fire. The old man nodded. "I see the Andrew Halloran had dragged her anchor a little, as I went out, and I stopped to fix her. It took quite a spell. I couldn't find the extry anchor.
"And all the while your father was sending out your allowance as usual twenty pounds to reach you on the first of every month and Dickinson's agents in Paris sending back assurances that it would be transmitted and reach you as surely as if France and England were at peace!" Father Halloran caught the note of anxious justification in Mrs. a Cleeve's voice, and knew that it was meant for him.
On the tenth day they had found the oasis, and by sending the Hottentots on ahead with presents they had met with no open hostility from the Bushmen. There was plenty of water. Halloran seems to have tried to get the diamonds by bartering goods for them, but for some days the Bushmen had kept up the pretence that there were no diamonds there.
"Take the lists then and proceed," said the leader; "we have little time to lose." Lynch then called over a list until he had reached a hundred; every man, as he answered to his name, also repeated his number; as for instance, "Tom Halloran." "Here one!" "Peter Rafferty!" "Here two!" and so on, until the requisite number was completed, and every man as he responded fell also into rank.
"I can do it, I guess." He was mumbling it to his teeth. "I don't need anybody's help." With a sigh and a look of affection at the platform and the pail and the blue sky above, Uncle William followed him down the rocky path. They worked busily all the morning, towing in the Andrew Halloran, cleaning her up and stowing away tackle, making her ready for the winter.
Once the door suddenly opened and Halloran thrust in his head, exclaiming: "Let me give you a piece of news to dream over, my dear fellow: Your Cousin, Kendale, is with the beauteous Faynie just now, probably holding her in his arms, kissing the lovely rosebud mouth. 'Pon my honor. I envy the lucky dog; don't you?"
After a moment of silence Judge Halloran said, with stiff finality: "Under the circumstances there is nothing more to talk about. You amaze me when you say " "I want to know more than if he was just telling the truth," Tom interrupted, grimly. "I want to know if you were guilty." "That was the verdict of the court martial." "To hell with that! Innocent men have been hung."
