Montague spent the whole day in consultation, going over every aspect of the case, and laying out his course of procedure. And then, at the end, Mr. Hasbrook remarked that it would be necessary for them to make some financial arrangement.
"Go on and state it, and don't be all night about it." "I may add that I also came to warn you against the movements of Hasbrook. I will begin at the beginning." "Begin, then; and don't go round Cape Horn in doing it," snarled the captain. "I will, sir. Captain Patterdale " "Another miserable psalm-singer. Is he in the scrape?" "He is, sir.
Marshall Sothern's shaggy brows lowered a bit; Madden and Hasbrook had looked from Drennen to each other and to him; he alone kept his eyes hard upon the man making his way with unsteady stubbornness up the street. When a man stood in his way Drennen thrust out his arm, pushing him aside. His eyes grew ever the more terrible with the madness of the rage upon him, bloodshot and menacing.
"If he pounded Hasbrook, why should he run over to Seal Harbor, when he had a fair wind to come up?" asked Donald. "To deceive you, as it seems he has," laughed Mr. Beardsley. "Probably getting aground deranged his plans." "But he ran over to Northport after we parted." "Because it was a better place to conceal himself during the day. Sykes says he went down to Vinal Haven that day.
"I would not be a party to the concealment of such an outrage." "You don't understand it. Hasbrook is a regular swindler." "That is no reason why he should be pounded half to death in the middle of the night." "He borrowed a thousand dollars of Captain Shivernock a short time before the outrage.
But Oliver contented himself with the assurance that where there's a will, there's a way. One could not refuse an invitation to spend Christmas with the Eldridge Devons! And sure enough, there was a way. Mr. Hasbrook had mentioned to him that he had had considerable work done upon the case, and would have the papers sent round.
It does not seem probable that Don John walked through the city with that tin box in his hand. If he did, some one must have seen it. Of course he would not have carried it openly, while it could easily have been concealed in the wagon of Hasbrook or Laud Cavendish."
"Did you see anybody near the cove?" "I didn't say whether I did or not," replied Laud, after some hesitation, which confirmed Donald's belief that he had met the captain on this occasion. "Never mind that. Off Gilky's Harbor I hailed Tom Reed, who had been a-fishing. It seems that Tom told Hasbrook he saw me that forenoon, and Hasbrook has been to see me half a dozen times about it.
"I don't understand the matter myself; but I will state all the facts, though Captain Shivernock threatened to kill me if I did so. On the morning after the Hasbrook outrage, while I was waiting on Turtle Head for the Yacht Club to arrive, the captain came to the Head, saying he had walked over from Seal Harbor, where he had got aground in his boat.
The panic became a rout and the rout a massacre, and of the sixty-two men who were sent out that morning but two were alive, and they were desperately wounded. Had any one of the old experienced officers, like Green, Mason, Perry, Bernard or Hasbrook been sent on this duty a massacre would have been impossible.
