At that last examination the magistrates shook their heads, and, after hearing a great deal of speaking, decided that Thorpeley must have been deceived in the darkness, and the charge was dismissed. In those days the law had two qualities in an out-of-the-way place that have pretty well died out now.
"Yah!" shouted Hickathrift angrily, "they never shot him; they heven't got no goon." Thorpeley was not badly hurt, so the doctor said when he came; but, as usual, he added, "If it had been an inch or two more to the right an important vessel would have been divided, and he would have bled to death."
Tom obeyed without a word, and glancing neither to the right nor left, the two boys walked heavily back over the dry surface of the quaking bog, so as to reach their boat. Before they had travelled half-way they met Thorpeley, who leered at them in a sinister way, and, as they passed on, turned and followed at a distance. "Look here, Dick," whispered Tom, "let's give him something to think about.
"Why, Tom, it's that Thorpeley stuck in the mud somewhere; and it's our doing." "It's his own if he is stuck there. But I don't believe it is. Why, it's two miles nearer home than where we left him." "Then it's somebody else in trouble," said Dick excitedly. "It isn't. Let's go home."
