"Sir Reginald," exclaimed Sziszkinski, with some emotion, as he grasped the baronet's extended hand, "I am completely at a loss for words in which to express adequately the gratitude I feel for your most kindly and generous offer.
"We might discuss the matter with Sziszkinski at the breakfast-table the mention of which reminds me that I am hungry, while my watch," withdrawing the article mentioned from his pocket and glancing at it "tells me that breakfast ought now to be ready." He glanced round the horizon, which was bare save for the rapidly receding shape of the convict-ship, and continued
The final conclusion arrived at was that, having once got out of the proper track, they had not been following a path at all, but simply making their way at haphazard between the innumerable patches of underscrub. At this point Sziszkinski interposed with a remark that offered a possible solution of the difficulty.
Pretty sure to come in handy, sooner or later." And his eyes turned, as though unconsciously, in the direction of Feodorovna Sziszkinski, to the confusion of that young lady, and the covert amusement of Lady Olivia.
It is this brutal indifference to the consequences, to others, of his nefarious scheme, that, to my mind, calls for punishment." "It would rightly serve him if you were to take him back and put him upon the place from which you rescued him," suggested Sziszkinski. "He would have no right to complain if we did," answered Sir Reginald.
"Sziszkinski and I to change places?" ejaculated Vasilovich. "That shall never be! I know not who you are you people who have perpetrated this monstrous outrage upon a faithful servant and personal friend of the Tsar but I know this, that ere long you will curse the day upon which you planned it. Think you that his Majesty will allow such colossal insolence as yours to go unpunished?
The four men who were going out that is to say, Sir Reginald, Mildmay, von Schalckenberg, and Sziszkinski accordingly descended to the lowermost depths of the ship, and entered the diving-room, leaving Lethbridge to entertain the two ladies and little Ida by pointing out such objects of interest as were to be seen from the tightly closed windows of the saloon.
So long as they are able to account satisfactorily at Sakhalien for the full number of convicts placed in their charge, I do not think they will care whether one of them declares himself to be Count Vasilovich, or not; they will simply assign to him the number which Colonel Sziszkinski now bears, and that will end the matter.
Surely we have seen enough, have we not?" For answer Colonel Sziszkinski raised his rifle to his shoulder and, taking steady aim, pulled the trigger. There was the usual faint click of the hammer, and immediately a little spurt of brown dust close to the lion's fore paws showed that the Russian had missed.
And, meanwhile, Sir Reginald and Colonel Sziszkinski continued the examination of the wreck, but unfortunately without any satisfactory result; for although they succeeded in finding the captain's cabin, and bringing therefrom, and from some of the other cabins, a considerable number of documents, it was found that, owing to their long submersion, they had become so completely sodden that any attempt to handle them, while still wet, reduced them to pulp; and when the alternative of carefully drying them was tried, they became so exceedingly brittle that they simply crumbled to pieces, while, even on the fragments that they contrived to preserve, the writing was so nearly obliterated as to be quite undecipherable.
