Gregory and I were talking together over here all the time you were gone." "Oh, I do not suspect you," said Merry; "but I want a good look at those wipers." "Did you see the man who threw you into the stoke-hole?" "No, but " "Then how will you know who it was if you see him?" "Whoever did so had a reason for the act a motive. He must have known me before. I may know him."
"On this steamer?" they shouted in unison. "On this steamer," nodded Frank, really enjoying the sensation he had created. "He he attacked you?" gurgled Rattleton, seeming to forget his recent sickness. "He did." "And you escaped after being thrown into the stoke-hole?" fluttered Diamond. "I am here." "And you didn't kill the cur on sight?" roared Browning. "He is in the hold in irons."
The officer had lit the fuse that did the work. Ten days afterwards the two stokers, assistant engineer and myself, footsore and ragged, went on board the British mail steamer at Guayáquil and presented ourselves to the gruff old captain. "Get below in the stoke-hole and black up," he said, "the Chilean government offers five thousand dollars reward for each of you.
We got into the stoke-hole and collared the engine-room while the Russians were at dinner. Then, while I covered the sailors forward with the machine-gun on the bridge, Sievers took the gold-laced crowd aft with a rush. The rest is not worth telling, for you know it.
"I'm going to see the boats cleared, and all hands in the stoke-hole that have the right there"; and then he sang out, "Stand by!" and the men swarmed up from below, and heard the order to clear the boats.
If we think only of the shining, we shall probably miss both it and the burning. But if we devote ourselves to the burning, even though it involve the hidden work of the mine, the stoke-hole, and the furnace-room, there will be the raying forth of a light that cannot be hid. Where there is the burning heat, there must be the soft, gleaming light.
Azuma-zi, answering or misunderstanding the questions of the people who had by authority or impudence come into the shed, was presently sent back to the stoke-hole by the scientific manager.
It seems that the fellow was aboard all the time, hiding in the steerage or stoke-hole, or somewhere no doubt to spy on you and Lord Avondale." Genevieve averted her head and murmured in a half whisper: "He was aboard all that time, and never came up for a breath of air all those smothering days! I remember Lord James speaking of how hot and vile it was down in the forecastle.
Well, here he was, the great man on board, in the midmost centre of it, sitting at the captain's right hand, and yet vainly harking back to forecastle and stoke-hole in quest of the Paradise he had lost. He had found no new one, and now he could not find the old one. He strove to stir himself and find something to interest him. He ventured the petty officers' mess, and was glad to get away.
