"Well, there is a man who kills pigs, and has such cords as that, lives close by, doctor," he answered. "You know who I mean the man they call Gentleman Jack." "You mean Harborough," said the doctor. "Well you'd better ask him if he knows anything. Somebody might have stolen one of his cords. But there are other pig-killers in the town, of course."
Harborough gave his counsel a peculiar look which Brereton could not understand. "Oh, well!" he said. "If you found it out " He broke off at that, and would say no more, and Brereton presently left him and walked thoughtfully homeward, reflecting on the prisoner's last words. "He admits there is something to be found out," he mused.
"Let us proceed in order," answered Carfax, taking a seat at the head of the table and putting his fingers together in a judicial attitude. "I will open the case. When Wraythwaite a fine fellow, who, between ourselves, is going to do great things for Harborough and his daughter when Wraythwaite, I say, heard of what had happened down here, he was naturally much upset.
August, we departed from the West shore supposed firme with America, after we had ankered there 13. dayes: and so the 4. thereof we came to our Generall on the East shore and ankered in a faire Harborough name Anne Warwickes sound, vnto which is annexed an Island both named after the Countesse of Warwicke, Anne Warwickes sound and Isle.
"Tell me in secret and then leave me to make use of the knowledge, also in secret," urged Brereton. "No, sir once for all, no!" answered Harborough. "There's no necessity. I may be kept locked up for a bit, but the truth about this matter'll come out before ever I'm brought to trial or ought to be. Leave me alone I'm all right. All that bothers me now, my girl, is you!"
Here the Generall, and other Gentlemen went ashore, being the first knowen Christians that we haue true notice of, that euer set foot vpon that ground: and therefore the Generall took possession thereof to the vse of our Soueraigne Lady the Queenes Maiestie, and discouered here a goodly harborough for the ships, where were also certaine little boates of that countrey.
The next day after, being the 20th of June, we harboured ourselves again in a very good harborough, called by Magellan, Port St. Julian, where we found a gibbet standing upon the main; which we supposed to be the place where Magellan did execution upon some of his disobedient and rebellious company.
Harborough, who had been formally arrested and charged by the police after the conversation at the police-station, was not produced in court until eleven o'clock, by which time the whole town and neighbourhood were astir with excitement.
"Are you Brett, or is Brett you, or is he somebody else?" "My name is James Brett Harborough; perhaps you didn't know, or had forgotten," said Jim; and then, jumping off the horse and throwing the lines to Mr. Jacobsen, who had just trotted anxiously up, he came to me. "Will you forgive me?" he asked. "I don't know yet what it's all about," I said, dully.
I suppose there'd be an end of the case if he'd prove where he was, eh?" "He'd have to account for every minute between nine and ten o'clock," answered Brereton. "It would be no good, for instance, if we proved to a jury that from say ten o'clock until five o'clock next morning, Harborough was at shall we say your county town, Norcaster.
