Then a fin was lopped off, and a few seconds afterwards the huge carcase was seen floating on the waves. Harkaway seized the rope and fastened it round the head and tail of his vanquished foe, which was then hauled on deck. "Bravo, old man," exclaimed Harvey, shaking his schoolfellow by the hand. "You did that well." "Though you were certainly a long time about it," observed Mole. "I could have "
So from time to time, 'Jack Harkaway' goes for us both! And now enough of explanations!"; and he launched into talk of game and sport in various parts of the world, to the huge delight of the great simple-hearted Charlie.

But they would not have it upon their consciences that these lawless ruffians should suffer for a crime which they had not committed. "There is one strange fact about this," said the governor of the prison to Harkaway, "and that is, that one of the prisoners has taken the liberty of respiting himself." "Which one?"

And then he dropped heavily into a chair, looking the picture of misery and despair.
During this brief conversation the shark had been down out of sight. He now rose to the surface, and perceiving three enemies, seemed undecided which to attack first. And while the fish was hesitating, Harkaway resolved to open the campaign. Accordingly he dived, with the intention of coming up beneath the fish and administering a stab.

"Here is the reply of the cold-blooded Englishman Harkaway to my demand for ransom, and you are all my witness that I did not exact a very unreasonable sum." "No, no." "What says he?" "He sends this," returned Hunston, holding up a single hundred pound note: "one hundred pounds two thousand, five hundred francs in a word, one-fifth of the sum we demanded, and with it a letter."
Cheers, bravos, huzzahs, at every step of the way. "That's the Englishman Harkaway," said one of the bystanders, as they marched onward towards the prison, "and that is the American Jefferson." "Dreadful men those to make enemies of. I have heard that Harkaway has destroyed hundreds of brigands and pirates." "Yes, I have heard so," answered the other.
