Well, now, I tell you! that if any accident should happen to him, either during the voyage, or at Saigon, that accident will pass unnoticed, as a letter passes through the post-office. "Yes, that's what he told me, every word of it; and I think I hear him now. And I I was so completely bewildered, that I had nothing to say in return.
'Oh, please don't shrink on our account, said the smoking-room with one voice. 'It's not my own story, said the man from Saigon. 'A fellow on a Massageries boat told it me. He had been third officer of a sort on a Geordie tramp one of those lumbering, dish-bottomed coal-barges where the machinery is tied up with a string and the plates are rivetted with putty. The way he told his tale was this.
The first meeting of this Association was held at Manila, the second at Hongkong. The third will take place at Saigon. The results of a rigid enforcement of the "Pure Food and Drugs Act" are worthy of more than passing notice. Such enforcement has been comparatively easy as the officials concerned are not hampered by politics.
A former soldier of your regiment, who is now in garrison here in Saigon, will prove it." For the first time the accused seemed to be really troubled.

And even to-night, while giving very fully all the details of his passage out, and his residence in Saigon, he had not said a word of the letters which had been addressed to him by the countess. "Sarah Brandon in love with me?" he stammered. "What an idea!" But he could not tell a falsehood; and Henrietta would not have been a woman, if she had not noticed his embarrassment.

Now it seemed to him as if the magistrate was far more anxiously concerned for the punishment of the guilty than for the safety of the victims. Blinded by passion, so as to ask for impossibilities, Daniel would have had this lawyer, who was so clever in unearthing crimes committed in Saigon, find means rather to prevent the atrocious crime which was now going on in France.
I have nothing more to say." Louis retired, and the next day the ship arrived at Saigon.
Arrived there, Bougainville learned that the French agent, M. Chaigneu, had left Hué for Saigon, with the intention of there chartering a barque for Singapore, and in the absence of the only person who could further his schemes he did not know with whom to open relations.
After lunch, in the middle of the afternoon, he stationed himself in front of the pilot-house, and kept a sharp lookout ahead. "Saigon light!" he shouted, some time before it could be made out without a glass. The steamer was headed for Cape St. Jacques, near the entrance to the river by which she was to reach the city. The light soon came into view, and a boat was seen pulling out of the mouth.
