Russell, and E.R. Monette were to wait for him at Lee's Ferry, after having prospected through Glen Canyon. Some mistake was made about the delivery of the cameras and, as Hite post-office only had weekly communication with the railroad, a month elapsed before he finally secured them.
Notwithstanding the danger he must have been aware he was running, for it was in attempting a reconnaissance on the same ground that Captain L'Allenand, of the French steam-vessel Monette, lost his life, he resolved to pay another visit to the spot. The night was squally, and he thought it wiser to take a larger circuit than before.
For first, it meant that he had made a great discovery; secondly, that he was not now astonished because he had not succeeded before in his watchfulness; thirdly but perhaps the two mentioned may be sufficient; for, turning sharply round, he made the greatest haste to reach Monette and inform him, this time, of the result of his espionage.

Leaving l'Abbaye, I walked straight across the Place Turenne to the Rue Tournon, where I had lodgings, when I heard a woman scream for help.
Something must be wrong, and he must find it out but, then, again came that confounded question, how? He would go and consult old Monette he could, perhaps, suggest something; and, musing on the strangeness of the adventure, he walked slowly toward the house of the old man to hold a council with him on the situation.
The crowd began to disperse, and with them also was going our friend, the detective, when, on turning round, he came in contact with Mlle. Monette, leaning on the arm of her mysterious lover.
