You promised to leave Eglonsby alone if I helped you get the gold of Stolgoland." "I promised nothing of the kind. I promised to help you take Stolgoland. You've taken it," Trask told him. "I promised to avoid unnecessary damage or violence. I've already hanged a dozen of my own men for rape, murder and wanton vandalism. Now, we expect to be out of here in twenty-four hours.
They were strangely quiet, and when Trask or Locke or Marjorie came in sight, the men were full of covert looks and signals to each other with their hands for caution and whispers. There was a feeling of tension, a sudden stiffening of demeanour once the anchor was down. It was not so much expressed as shown by repression.
"Keep away, w'ite man, or I'll do yo'all hurt!" Trask walked straight for the steward, who pulled out a pistol. "My gun!" cried Trask, stopping. Marjorie uttered a cry of dismay as she saw the steward raise his hand. "I can shoot," warned Doc. "Come on! Come on!" he yelled, waving his hand to the dinghy. "I got 'em!"
The sheet was rumpled and thrown back but Jarrow was not there. Trask went to his room at once, and stripping off his wet pajamas, dressed hurriedly. His discovery that Jarrow was missing seemed to verify his suspicions that the captain was not playing fair.
