Besides, this box from Chili could not have been brought here by the 'Vega, for it is evidently quite fresh. It can not be three days, perhaps not twenty-four hours since it has been opened!" Dr. Schwaryencrona and Mr.
"I think not, for I feel convinced that it would have produced no results. You see how difficult it is even today, after we have related all the facts in our possession, to arrive at any definite conclusion!" "But how can you explain the part which Patrick O'Donoghan has taken in this matter?" asked Dr. Schwaryencrona.
But their investigations proved very unsatisfactory. The solicitor who had formerly had the books in his possession as the receiver of the company about ten years before; did not know what had become of Mr. Churchill. For a moment Dr. Schwaryencrona consoled himself with a false hope.
Bredejord did not know what steps Tudor Brown would take to prevent this, but he felt certain that he would find some means of doing so. Dr. Schwaryencrona was inclined to the same opinion, and even Mr. Malarius could not think of anything very reassuring to say. The games of whist were therefore not very lively, and the long strolls that the three friends took were not very gay.
"You do not know what this correspondence contains?" "No," replied Doctor Schwaryencrona, with perfect calmness. "Well, listen to this," continued Mr. Bredejord, approaching the window. "It is the journal of one of your brethren, the aid of the naturalist of the 'Vega." "'30th and 31st of July, we entered the strait of Jugor, and cast anchor before a Samoyede village called Chabarova.
Schwaryencrona as much as to say: "You can believe what you please, it is a matter of indifference to me." "From Inverness, perhaps?" suggested the doctor, still clinging to his favorite theory. The stranger again hesitated for a moment. "No, from Edinburgh," he answered. "But that is of no importance after all, and has nothing to do with the matter in hand.
The traveler is constantly astonished by the contrast between the wild and savage aspect of nature, and the manufactures, and works of art, which represent the most refined civilization. But perhaps it is time for us to return to Noroe, and Dr. Schwaryencrona, whom we have left on the threshold of the school.
This is what Dr. Schwaryencrona and Mr. Bredejord asked each other as they were playing at whist with Mr. Malarius, in the little sitting-room of the hotel to which they had gone after arriving at L'Orient. As for Mr. Bredejord, he had no doubts about the matter.
If he then considers it practicable, he may get up another expedition." Dr. Schwaryencrona was a warm admirer of Nordenskiold, and this is why he had asked these questions about the north-east passage. He was charmed with the clearness of these answers. He fixed his eyes on Erik Hersebom, with an expression of the deepest interest.
Erik reflected deeply upon what Mr. Hersebom had said. Numerous objections presented themselves to his mind, and as he was candor itself he could not help speaking. "It seems to me that you have a right to regret your former profits, father," he said, "but is it just to accuse Doctor Schwaryencrona of having diminished them? Is not his oil worth more than the home-made article?"
