He had taken it quite as a matter of fact, and was excusing me in the kindest possible terms. "Good gracious, you mustn't stew over such a trifling accident! It's nothing. Just tie this handkerchief on for me, please, and then we'll go back to the others or there will be a search-party after us."
"It's an extraordinary thing that he can have managed to deceive the search-party with such a formidable list of identification marks." "It was nothing but sheer audacity that carried him through, of course. If it had once occurred to them to suspect him he would have been lost. But the air of confiding innocence that he can put on when he chooses would bring a man through anything.
After it is assembled, I shall carry tackle and ropes to the cliff-top, and then it will be comparatively simple to hoist the search-party and its supplies in safety. Or I can make a sufficient number of trips to land the entire party in the valley beyond the barrier; all will depend, of course, upon what my first reconnaissance reveals."
'But surely you would not send a search-party of soldiers merely on this account? 'Oh, no! he answered; 'but even before the coachman arrived, I had this telegram from the Boyar whose guest you are, and he took from his pocket a telegram which he handed to me, and I read: Bistritz. Be careful of my guest his safety is most precious to me.
Having proceeded for a considerable distance, he stood still, listening for any sound that might guide him to the search-party or warn him that he was followed. But he could hear nothing. Onward he pressed, not daring to think of what the future held for him, not daring to dwell upon the memory, the maddening sweetness, of that parting kiss.
One up a little north was stated to be over 10 feet long, and to weigh at least a ton, and 14 feet was alleged to be the size of another. But all disappear like will-o'-the-wisps when the search-party arrives on the scene, and none but ordinary specimens, that have no reputation to maintain, are there to flout the ardour of the collector.
She hastened to answer it. It was an inquiry from the livery-stable for Mr. Stephen Burns. He had not brought the horse back, nor had he returned to his hotel. Did Miss Lovejoy perhaps know of his whereabouts? Did she think they had better send out a search-party? Miss Lovejoy knew nothing of his whereabouts, and she was strongly of the opinion that he had better be looked up.
And it was in this way that we found her, the telescope enabling us to identify her at a distance of fully a mile. Arrived abreast of her, we again anchored the brigantine, and the same search-party, under my command, once more landed and walked straight to the hulk.
Brellier," replied Merriton wearily. "But he went. You know Dacre Wynne as well as I do. He was set upon going. But he has not come back, and some of the chaps here set up a search-party to hunt for him. They discovered nothing. Simply some charred grass in the middle of the Fens and the end of his footprints.... So he didn't come round to your place then? Thanks.
There's no doubt the poor child is absolutely raving about me. No doubt whatever. Aylmer was as sympathetic as he knew how. The party was just going off when La France found that the goggles had disappeared. A search-party was organised; great excitement prevailed; but in the end they went away without the glasses.
