"Did you see Bolton again after your interview on board ship?" It was then that the baronet proved his good faith. "Oh, yes," he said easily and without hesitation. "I was walking about Pierside later, and, passing along that waterside alley near the Sailor's Rest, I saw a window on the ground floor open, and Bolton looking out across the river.
"And how are we to find the jewels?" asked Braddock crossly. "By finding the assassin." "How is that to be done?" asked De Gayangos gloomily. "I have been doing my best at Pierside, but I cannot find a single clue. Vasa is not to be found." "Vasa!" exclaimed Archie and the Professor, both profoundly astonished. Don Pedro raised his eyebrows. "Certainly.
Good night, Professor; to-morrow let us go to Pierside and see if we cannot get at the truth." "And to-morrow," cried Random, "I shall send the check, sir." When the company departed, Lucy had another wrangle with her father about the check. As Archie had gone away, she could speak freely, and pointed out that he was enjoying her mother's income and was about to marry Mrs. Jasher, who was rich.
He therefore let the matter rest there, and, staring at the river, wondered how the mummy had been brought to the garden in the marshes. Hope recollected that experts had decided the mode in which the mummy had been removed from the Pierside public-house.
"Can't you see show strange it is that Sidney should let the mummy out of his sight, after guarding it so carefully not only from Malta to England, but all the night in Pierside at that hotel? Why doesn't he bring the mummy here himself, and come on with the lorry?" "There is no explanation no letter from Sidney Bolton?" "None.
Halfway down the village they met a trap, and in it Captain Hervey being driven to the Jessum railway station. "Have you seen Don Pedro?" asked the Professor, stopping the vehicle. "I reckon not," answered Hervey stolidly. "He's gone into Pierside to see the police. I'm off there also." "You had better come with us," said Archie sternly; "we are going to see Sir Frank Random."
The next day she heard of the murder, and guessed that the Professor and his slave for Cockatoo was little else had rowed up to Pierside in a boat and there had strangled Sidney and stolen the mummy. She saw Braddock and accused him. The Professor had then opened the case, and had pretended astonishment when discovering the corpse of the man whom Cockatoo had strangled, as he knew perfectly well.
Jasher did not trouble herself with a polite prefix "Braddock explained that when he received a letter from Sidney stating that he would have to remain with the mummy for a night in Pierside, he guessed that his treacherous assistant intended to effect the robbery. It seems that Sidney by mistake had left behind the disguise in which he intended to escape. Aware of this through me" Mrs.
Jasher, believing what had been told her, would think that sharp eyes were on her doors and windows day and night, and would firmly believe that if she tried to get away she would be captured forthwith by the Pierside police, or perhaps by the village constable. Like an Eastern enchanter, the baronet had placed a spell on the cottage, and it acted admirably. Mrs.
"Oh, the devil take you!" said Hervey hastily, and sat down on one of the hall chairs. "It's this way, since you won't let me skip until I tell you. This almighty aristocrat came to Pierside on the same afternoon as I cast anchor. While Bolton was on board, he looked in to have a yarn of sorts." "What about?" "Now, how in creation should I know?" snapped the skipper.
