She returned in a few moments with an invitation to enter, and so it appeared that there was some power in the "Hasbrook affair." Laud was conducted to the library, as the retired shipmaster chose to call the apartment, though there were not a dozen books in it, where the captain sat in a large rocking-chair, with his feet on the table.
"That's what made him look stouter than the captain," added Beardsley, as he proceeded to measure one of the boots, and compare it with the notes he had made of the size of the footprints. "It's a plain case; these boots made those tracks." "And here's the club he pounded me with," said Hasbrook, taking up a heavy stick that had been in the bundle.
Captain Patterdale opened the tin box, and took therefrom some twenty dollars to pay the bill, which Laud receipted. Mr. Hasbrook hoped he would go, and that Don John would go; and perhaps they would have gone if a rather exciting event had not occurred to detain them. "Father! father!" exclaimed Miss Nellie, rushing into the library.
If I should come in here and you have customers do you think you can keep straight faces?" "We'll try!" giggled the partners. "Here comes somebody now," cried Elizabeth. "You'd better hide!" But there was no time to hide. The visitors turned out to be Mrs. Wright and a Mrs. Hasbrook, a rich woman who had recently moved to Dorfield, and according to Mrs.
Hasbrook came down stairs, and passed through the hall into the library, where he, also, had left his hat.

The agitation of the sea rocked even the mighty CAMBARANIAN and, had our friends been aboard the frail raft, they would surely have perished in the sea. As it was, they were safe saved by Tom Swift's wireless message. The steamer resumed her voyage, and the castaways told their story.

"That other man who was with you I don't know his name the one that was here when I came in with Don John." "Mr. Hasbrook." "He went out through the library. I thought he looked real ugly too," added Nellie. "He kept fidgeting about all the time I was here."
His action restored confidence, and the men manifested a spirit of fight. Donald McKay and his Wascos were sent to circle the lava beds. That night his signal fires informed Gen. Davis that the Modocs had deserted the lava beds. All available cavalry were sent in pursuit. The command of Capt. Hasbrook had been out all day, and was accompanied by Donald McKay's Indians.
You asked me who had been in the library while you were up stairs; and I told you Mr. Hasbrook, Laud Cavendish, and Don John." "Precisely so; I remember it all very distinctly. Now, one of the bills that was in that box comes back to me." "But it was paid to you by Mr. Leach." "It was; but he had it from Don John half an hour before he paid it to me."
Hasbrook, wishes to bring a suit against the Fidelity Company to compel it to pay to him his proper share of its surplus. He wishes the suit pressed, and followed to the court of last resort." "And do you mean to tell me," asked Montague, "that you would have any difficulty to find a lawyer in New York to undertake such a case?" "No," said the other, "not exactly that.
