Your honor, in his audacity the defense has furnished us proof positive that this prisoner can be none other than the adventurer and clever thief, Jack Andrews." It was in vain that Colby declared these pearls had just come from Sangoa, where they were found. The judge cut him short and asked if he had any other evidence to advance.
"Why, we don't like to be stumped," asserted Patsy, "that's all. Here is a young man from Sangoa, and " "Really," interrupted Beth, who was gazing through the window, "I believe here is the young man from Sangoa!" "Where?" they all cried, crowding forward to look. "Coming up the walk. See! Isn't that the same mysterious individual whose life Maud saved?"
I do not feel the same desire my father did to keep the secret, although I would dislike to see Sangoa overrun with tourists or traders." He spoke so quietly and at the same time so convincingly that both Arthur and Uncle John accepted his explanation unquestioningly.
"Such absurd reticence may be fatal to Mr. Jones' interests." He made no reply to this and after reflection she tried again. "What is the nearest land to Sangoa?" "Toerdal," said he. "What is that, an island?" "Yes." "Is it on the maps? Is it charted?" "No, Miss." She silenced Flo's aggravating giggle with a frown.
"Here are the papers issued by the Commander of the Port of San Francisco, proving that the yacht Arabella of Sangoa anchored in that harbor on October twelfth, and disembarked one passenger, namely: A. Jones of Sangoa." "That might, or might not, have been the prisoner," declared the prosecuting attorney. "True," said the judge. "The name 'A. Jones' is neither distinguished nor distinguishing."
She was dressed in the costume of an Indian princess and looked radiantly beautiful. Uncle John received a nod and a smile and then she was gone, without as yet a hint of the misfortune that had overtaken A. Jones of Sangoa. Returning to the hotel, rather worried and flustered by the morning's events, he found the girls quietly seated in the lobby, busy over their embroidery.
I wonder where he got all the money?" Maud secured his promise to send an operator to town, to exhibit the film before the judge, whenever he might be required. Then she went to her hotel fully satisfied that she had done all in her power to assist A. Jones of Sangoa.
The letters 'A.J. were stamped in gold on his pocketbook, and in his cardcase were a number of cards engraved: 'A. Jones, Sangoa. But there were no letters, or any other papers." "Where is Sangoa?" inquired Beth. "No one seems to know," confessed Uncle John. "There was plenty of money in his pocket-book and he has a valuable watch, but no other jewelry.
Uncle John sat in silent indignation, wondering what could be done to influence these stupid Germans. Presently the lieutenant remarked: "That sailor whom you left with the launch seemed an intelligent fellow." Patsy gave a start; Uncle John looked at the young man expectantly; the captain nodded his head as he slowly replied: "Henderson is one of the picked men I brought from Sangoa.
Later, however, she had thoroughly reviewed the notes she had made and decided he was innocent. In the quiet of her own room, when she was supposed to be asleep, Maud got out her notebook and read therein again the review of all she had learned concerning A. Jones of Sangoa.
