It was better, after all, that something of his brother should lie so near God's house than that he should have heaved the boot back into the black sea again. But, towards autumn, it so happened that, as he lay out among the skerries on the look-out for seals, and the ebb-tide drove masses of tangled seaweed towards him, he fished up a knife-belt and an empty sheath with his oar-blade.
When night came he put on a hunting-suit, and over it Michel's blouse, concealed his face beneath a broad-brimmed hat, slipped a pair of pistols in his knife-belt, hidden by the blouse, and boldly took the road from Noires-Fontaines to Bourg. He stopped at the barracks of the gendarmerie and asked to see the captain. The captain was in his room. Roland went up and made himself known.
The fellow lay back across Ismail's knees, breathless but well enough contented. And after a few more minutes the Orakzai Pathan came back, and King tried to make room for him to sit. "I bade thee keep my place!" he growled, towering over King and plucking at his knife-belt irresolutely.
But when he heard where the gold ring lay, he sat and wept the whole day till evening, when the sun began to dance north-westward into the sea. Then the thirteenth cormorant arose, and flew right over the island. There was nasty weather during the third winter. There were manifold wrecks, and on the keel of a boat, which came driving ashore, hung an exhausted young lad by his knife-belt.
