Of freight so Will Hendra had it from one of Godolphin's own men, who were now searching the cliffs and caverns not twelve-pennyworth remained on the beach. The Portugals must have hidden or made away with it all. He added that their captain had been found at the foot of the cliffs with his head battered in; but whether by a fall or a blow taken in the affray, there was no telling.
'Twas in the middle of the lane leading down to Hendra Bottom, where for more than a mile two carts can't pass each other, that my father pricks up his ears and looks back. "Hullo!" says he; "there's somebody gallopin' behind us." Far back in the night we heard the noise of a horse's hoofs, pounding furiously on the road and drawing nearer and nearer.
He thanked me amid some rambling, light-headed talk the most of it too quickly poured out for me to catch; but by-and-by grew easier and drowsy. I left him to sleep, putting off questions for the morning. But early on the morrow between five and six o'clock came Will Hendra, a cowkeeper, into our courtyard with a strange tale; one that disquieted if it did not altogether astonish me.
