"You've established that as a fact?" asked Jettison, who was listening with close attention. "It's not a surmise on your part?" Bryce hesitated before replying to this question. After all, he reflected, it was a surmise. He could not positively prove his assertion.
I've heard that he's pretty keen on Ransford's ward sister of that lad we saw tonight. I don't know myself, if it's true but I've wondered if that had anything to do with his leaving Ransford so suddenly." "Very likely," said Jettison. They had crossed the Close by that time and come to a gas-lamp which stood at the entrance, and the detective pulled out his watch and glanced at it.
There is no authority in the world which has the right to command the sacrifice of your life to another's judgment. There is only one thing that stands in your way, and that is your claim on a large inheritance. I understand you are quite willing to let that go. You are not even 'running away' from it that is not the word you are ready to jettison it."
"Get it while he's in the mood." "Let him take his own time," advised Jettison. "But you mark me! he knows a lot! This is only an instalment." Ransford came back with Dick Bewery, clad in a loud patterned and gaily coloured suit of pyjamas. "Now, Dick," said Ransford. "Tell Inspector Mitchington precisely what happened this evening, within your own knowledge."
"But if we jettison cargo to make room for these poor beggars, sir, the insurance will pay." "Pay your grandmother. You've got a lot to learn, my lad, before you're fit to take charge of a ship, if you don't know any more than that about the responsibility of the cargo." "By Jove! that's awkward. Birds would look pretty blue if the bill was handed in to them." "Birds!" said Kettle with contempt.
His lamp was burning when Mitchington and Jettison came in view of his windows but that night Bryce was doing no thinking about statecraft: his mind was fixed on his own affairs. He had lighted his fire on going home and for an hour had sat with his legs stretched out on the fender, carefully weighing things up.
Stebbing nodded and winked, as if he had been doing business with detectives all his life. "To be sure, sir, to be sure!" he responded with alacrity. "Just between you and me and the door post!-all right. Anything I can do, Mr. Jettison, shall be done. But it's more in the way of what I can tell, I suppose?" "Something of that sort," replied Jettison in his slow, easy-going fashion.
The first thought was to take it to Lisbon. This also, for specific reasons, gave way. It was then decided to take it to the port of discharge of the ordinary cargo; but after calculating all the trouble, the payment of duty, time lost, and possible legal technicalities, the captain resolved that the best and cleanest way of disposing of it was to jettison the whole of it.
Delarey was moving heavily and was compelled to jettison his guns and his transport. These were picked up by Babington, who, however, was not able to continue the pursuit and returned to Ventersdorp. The loss did not disconcert Delarey. He retired with Kemp to a position close to his lair in the Zwartruggens, where, however, he did not long remain.
Next morning the terrible glare began again. Then everything went red. I was nearly crazy when you found me, Mr. Garth." "Please call me Hugh," he murmured, taking her hand in his. "I feel in a way that you belong to me now I saved you from dying alone there in the cold and brought you back to my home. I've got jettison rights, Sylvie." She let him hold her hand, and flushed.
