The facts I have given you can be substantiated readily by Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Wade and Mr. McAllister; but no doubt the demonstration of the attempt to misuse the loan company's funds to the extent of a quarter of a million dollars the interview that has taken place in this room tonight is sufficiently conclusive in itself." "Conclusive?" piped old Timothy Drexel, unable longer to contain himself.
Yet I fancied that we must still be close to our consort. In vain I looked round. I called out to McAllister and told him my fears. Certain it was that the Espoir was nowhere to be seen. I felt very sad. I could not help dreading that the Espoir had been struck as we were, and being less prepared, had capsized and gone over.
The Chief had gone home early to-night and had paused on his way out to ask Brennan how the news was breaking and instruct him to "boil everything down." If there was anything that McAllister detested it was a thirty-six point head on a twelve-point item. "Kerr! Jackson! Brock!" Every typewriter in the city room stopped clacking and the three reporters jumped.
"What a charming place this is, a paradisaical place, so to speak. The dogs won't bite, will they?" said he, patting the alarmed Jacky on the head. "No fear o' the dogs, sir," returned McAllister; "they're like lambs. It's just their way. Ye'll be for a row on the loch the day, no doot." The Highlander addressed this remark to George and Fred.
"You can sit there and talk till this time to-morrow night, but you'll never convince me that the Honorable Milt isn't as straight as the best man who ever went into politics." "Ah, just so who ever went into politics," drawled McAllister with a provoking grin. "Who ever did his duty in public life and became the victim of hidebound newspapers!" retorted Wade.
Another vacancy occurred on the 13th December, by the resignation of General Crittenden, and to this General W. B. Hazen was appointed for his assault of Fort McAllister near Savannah. Stanton asked Thomas to make a list of promotions he desired to recommend, but informed him that there was then no vacancy in the grade of Major-General, and only two in that of Brigadier.
"Good conduct has got him out three years ahead of time. His sentence was fifteen, wasn't it?" Wade nodded, but was not to be turned from his tilt with McAllister. "What have you found out that makes you so cocky to-night?" he challenged the editor with interest. "You'll read all about it in the Recorder when the time comes.
On reaching the rice-mill at Cheevea's, I found a guard and a couple of twenty-pound Parrott gone, of De Gres's battery, which fired an occasional shot toward Fort McAllister, plainly seen over the salt-marsh, about three miles distant.
McAllister into their confidence as soon as they realized the extent of his knowledge, and only his patience and co-operation had enabled them to carry their investigations to fruition. The real-estate transaction in question had been planned by Mr. Ferguson for the purpose of quieting suspicion in the mind of Nickleby.
"Try the National Club. Use your head, Jackson!" But when Brennan hurried downstairs a few minutes later McAllister had not been located yet. "He went out somewhere with Wade, of the C.L.S., and left no word at the house as to when he'd be back," explained Jackson. "Call up Wade, then." "I did, but he's out too, and nobody seems to know where." Brennan swore. "Get me Nat Lawson on the 'phone.
