Adams nodded, and Stenhouse silently motioned to him and Ford to be seated. He remained standing. "Jim Ford," he said quietly, "look at me" he drew his hand down the distorted side of his face "and tell me what you would do to a man who made you look like this." "I would have his life if I swung for it." "Well, I am going to have this man's life.
I can only say this, and it's between ourselves, the man's name is a byword for a brute and a devil." "That's cheerful," said Adams. "Mind you," said Stenhouse, "he is in the very best society. I have met him at a reception at the Elysée. He goes everywhere. He belongs to the best clubs; he's a persona grata at more courts than one, and an intimate friend of King Leopold of Belgium.
This gale was a particularly heavy one. The ship and gear were covered with ice, owing to the freezing of spray, and Stenhouse had anxious hours amid the heavy, ice-encumbered waters before the gale moderated.
"We had a bad time when we were 'sculling' about the Sound, first endeavouring to make Hut Point to land provisions, and then looking for winter quarters in the neighbourhood of Glacier Tongue," wrote Stenhouse afterwards. "The ice kept breaking away in small floes, and we were apparently no nearer to anywhere than when the sledges left; we were frustrated in every move.
That is all that one may see now; for the dense, evergrowing jungle has long since hidden or rotted all else that was left. The three men were named Ford, Adams, and Stenhouse.
Stenhouse pointed to the two boat-keepers, and said something to Ford, who, with half-a-dozen natives, quickly disappeared. In a few minutes the bearers of the coffins reached the shore, and placed their burdens on the ground to await further orders.
In a few minutes, the leading boat, in which were six men and an officer, entered the creek, but the water being shallow, grounded on the bar, and the crew got out. The second boat contained four seamen, and three or four persons who were seated aft, and she too took the ground, and then, as her crew stepped out into the water, Stenhouse gripped Adams by the shoulder. "See, Tom, there he is!
J. R. Stenhouse, in command of the 'Aurora', with instructions to select a base and land a party. The first objective was Hut Point, where stands the hut erected by the Discovery expedition in 1902. The first two parties had dog teams. The third party took with it the motor-tractor, which does not appear to have given the good service that I had hoped to get from it.
"Well," said Adams, "I have promised Berselius, and I will have to go. Besides, there are other considerations." He was thinking of Maxine, and a smile lit up his face. "You seem happy enough about it," said Stenhouse, rising to go. "Well, 'he who will to Cupar maun to Cupar. When do you start?" "I don't know yet, but I shall hear to-night." They passed out into the Rue St.
"Good heavens!" said Stenhouse, "when is it with a medical man, especially when he is just starting? I've been through that. See here, why don't you start in Paris?" "Paris?" "Yes, this is the place to make money. You say you are thinking of starting in some American city; well, let me tell you, there are very few American cities so full of rich Americans as Paris."
