About him, and little and indistinct in this glow, a number of body-servants sustained and supported him, and overshadowed and standing in a huge semicircle beneath him were his intellectual subordinates, his remembrancers and computators and searchers and servants, and all the distinguished insects of the court of the moon.
None too quickly, either; for now the single searcher drew dangerously nigh, peering into every practicable hiding-place on either side, before moving onward. Little by little he drew closer, while the other band of searchers apparently turned off into a side passage, or large chamber, since nothing could be seen or heard of them by the fugitives.
In Search of the Castaways or The Children of Captain Grant New Zealand In Search of the Castaways New Zealand IF ever the searchers after Captain Grant were tempted to despair, surely it was at this moment when all their hopes were destroyed at a blow. Toward what quarter of the world should they direct their endeavors? How were they to explore new countries?
"Then you know " "No," she interrupted positively, "I cannot tell you any more. You must call off all other searchers. I will let you know." "When?" "To-morrow, perhaps the next day. I will call you on the telephone."
Fitzgerald says: "he is always harmless-this Toddleworth." As the two searchers are about to withdraw, the shrunken figure of a woman rushes wildly into the pit. "Devils! devils! hideous devils of darkness! here you are-still hover-hover-hovering; turning midnight into revelling, day into horrid dreaming!" she shrieks at the top of her voice.
They found several who knew Hawley, others who had seen the two together passing by the lighted windows of the Trocadero, but beyond that nothing. Convinced, at last, that the parties sought were not alive in Sheridan, and beginning to fear the worst, the searchers separated, and began spreading forth over the black surrounding prairie, and by the light of lanterns seeking any semblance of trail.
He saw that the chances were against him if he sought to reach the boat in which he and Taylor had crossed from the mainland; and yet it ways absolutely necessary that he should have a boat. He reasoned that the smugglers would scatter all over the island, and concluded that the safest place for him was the starting-point of the searchers.
"You, one of the search party?" he asked. I went over and sat down by him. I felt that the situation was sufficiently fantastic to permit of free speech. I did not know who he was and I did not care. I only knew that I wanted to deliver myself of the dreams my lack of sleep had robbed from me. "The only one," I said, "unless you also belong to the very small and select party of searchers."
The authorities would see to that. Suddenly there was intense excitement. One of the searchers had drawn a watch-like contrivance from my waistcoat pocket. It was not a watch, because it had no dial or works, but something which was quite foreign to them. First they dropped it as if fearing it might explode.
But to stand idly aside and permit Sibyl Andrés to be taken from him to face the exposure that would inevitably follow was impossible. If the man who had struck the trail was alone, there might still be a chance if he could be stopped. But how could he check him? What could he do? A rifle-shot might bring a dozen searchers.
