I arrived at Bhagulpore, and took up my quarters with my friend Dr. Grant, till he should arrange my dawk for Sikkim. Ravenshaw has now brought all existing proofs to bear on Patna and the Soane.

What does it all mean?" "These things can all be explained," replied Ravenshaw. "It is a long story. Sit down, and I will tell it to you." "Not here not here!" replied Austin unsteadily.
The murderers were twelve in number. They made for the bush country. Meanwhile, the avengers reached the murdered man. The body was on its back, just as it had fallen.
