Crowninshield had hitherto maintained a stoical composure of feeling; but when he was informed of Knapp's arrest, his knees smote beneath him, the sweat started out on his stern and pallid face, and he subsided upon his bunk. Palmer was brought to Salem in irons on the 3d of June, and committed to prison.
With the pounce a broken sentence fell from his lips: "The tules! Knapp and Garland!" For the first moment of startled realization he was so surprised that he could not see how Mayer was implicated. Then his mind leaped the gap from the holdup in August to that picturesque narrative still fresh in the public mind Knapp's story of the robbed cache.
A merry party returning home in the wee hours paused and watched it curiously but it spoke to them not. At Knapp's Crossroads they saw it, just as the harvest festival was breaking up, and Hank Sparker and Sophia Coyson lingered on their way home to watch it. But it spoke not their language.

After Knapp's story came out I wrote up and asked them but no one round there remembered him." "Would you know him again if you saw him?" "If I saw him in the same clothes I would, but" he smiled into Chrystie's eager face "I'm not likely to do that. If it's he, he's got twelve thousand dollars and I guess he's spent some of it on a shave and a new suit." Here Mr.
A few of the Esquimaux who came to the Fort, were from Chesterfield Inlet, and proposed to return, before the other party left us for Knapp's Bay.
