KENELM now bent his way towards the parsonage, but just as he neared its glebe-lands he met a gentleman whose dress was so evidently clerical that he stopped and said, "Have I the honour to address Mr. Lethbridge?" "That is my name," said the clergyman, smiling pleasantly. "Anything I can do for you?" "Yes, a great deal, if you will let me talk to you about a few of your parishioners."
"Very well," said Sir Reginald. "I will take the Maxim, and Lethbridge will no doubt attend to the torpedo part of the business. But I hope," he added, "it will not be necessary to use one of those terrible shells, for, if it is, the loss of life will be frightful." "Not necessarily," said the professor.
Walters opened the note, adjusted his glasses and read it. He started with surprise, read the note through again, then turned round as though in search of the writer. When he saw Crewe he raised his eyebrows interrogatively, and the detective nodded emphatically. Mr. Lethbridge sat down, having finished his examination of Kemp. Mr.
Lethbridge drew his pocket-book from his pocket. "Will a leaf or the whole book be of any use to you?" he asked. "A couple of leaves will do. Thanks," he replied, as Lethbridge tore out two and handed them to him. With one of these he constructed a kind of scale; then, with its aid, he drew a diagram on the other.
When I say the "others," I mean Sir Lionel and Ellaline Lethbridge. I didn't know any legends, but I made up several on the spur of the moment, much more exciting than theirs, and that pleased Sir Lionel, as he is a Cornishman. Heavens, how I did take it out of myself admiring his native land when we'd got across that ferry!
The surface of the rocks was slippery with weed, and their progress was, therefore, painfully slow; but at length they reached a point above and clear of the wreck, and von Schalckenberg then turned and faced the pilot-house, evidently asking for guidance. "Go higher and bear to your right," signalled Lethbridge; and the men resumed their climb.
This exclamation he made aloud to his companions in English, as a preliminary to the translation of Lobelalatutu's story. "By George! Professor, I sympathise with you in that remark of yours about being a savage, and being capable of adopting savage methods when it comes to punishing such a fellow as this M'Bongwele," exclaimed Lethbridge, when von Schalckenberg had come to an end.
The roaring still continued, each repetition of it coming to them very much more distinctly than the one that had preceded it, and presently, as the ship swept along, a little valley among the rocks swung into view, and there, in the very middle of it, was to be seen the singular sight of which the professor and Lethbridge had spoken.
Now you'll admit that Dick was rather smart to have chopped all these branches off the tree of knowledge with his little hatchet. I think his cleverness worthy of a better cause. The next thing he did was to ask, naïvely, if that Miss Lethbridge was the Miss Lethbridge the ward of Sir Lionel Pendragon, so much talked of in the papers just now?
His first act was to increase the speed of the Flying Fish to thirty knots; and as he moved the lever forward, admitting a larger flow of vapour to the engine-cylinders, Lethbridge, who was standing at one of the windows, with his binoculars to his eyes, turned and said "What do you think of that, Mildmay?" "What do I think of what?" retorted Mildmay, stepping to his side.
