A few miles' further progress brought the gunboats to their destination, and they made fast to the bank near the old Government buildings of the town. Major Marchand's party consisted of eight French officers or non-commissioned officers, and 120 black soldiers drawn from the Niger district.
"And what do you think of this, Nell? I've wormed out of Bill Kenmore the truth about that mean joke the boys played on us last spring when we were all at Jennie Stone's. Excuse! I suppose I should say Madame Marchand's. To think of Heavy Stone being an old married woman now! "Well, Bill Kenmore always did have a crazy streak and he wasn't shell-shocked in France, either.
Colonel Roussille, who is in command of the troops at the gate, sends a hasty messenger to Général Marchand: "The brigand demands that we open the gate!" reports the messenger breathlessly. "Tell the Colonel to give the order to fire," is Marchand's peremptory response. "Are you coming with me, M. le Comte?" he asks hurriedly. But he does not wait for a reply.
"I don't see how I can authorize Marchand's arrest not till he breaks the law, in any case." "It's against the law to conspire to break the law," replied Jowett.

"Gautry's tavern that joint!" exclaimed Osterhaut with repulsion. "Well, that ranchman, Dennis What's-his-name, is looking for him, and Felix can't go home or to the usual places.
He was going to say, "There's that devil Marchand's designs on my bridge," but he thought better of it and stopped. It had been his intention to deal with Marchand directly, to get a settlement of their differences without resort to the law, to prevent the criminal act without deepening a feud which might keep the two towns apart for years.

"Got the strength of two, for a drunk man weighs twice as heavy as a sober one!" exclaimed another admiringly. "Marchand's game is up on the Sagalac," declared a third decisively. The excitement was so great, however, that only a very few of them knew what they were saying, and fewer still knew that Dennis Doane had risked his life to save the man he had been stalking for weeks past.
