The brig had evidently shifted her cargo in the hold, for she had heeled over until the water was a foot deep in the lee scuppers. "It will be all over with the Waldo in two minutes more," said Wallbridge, in a loud voice, which was necessary in order to make himself heard above the roar of the tempest. "I don't know this part of the bay very well," replied Mr. Carboy in the same loud tone.
She has told the police a thousand times that she had nothing to do with the crime." "Did Miss Langmore see anybody?" "She saw a Doctor Bird pass in his buggy and a farmer named Carboy go by on foot." "When was this?" "While she was at the piano. She doesn't know the exact time." There was a pause and the detective gave a faraway look out of the window and down the bustling thoroughfare.
He could not resist the infringement of this rule, however, and continued his experiments. In drawing some vitriol one night, he upset the carboy, and the acid eating its way through the floor, played havoc with the furniture of a luxurious bank in the flat below. He was discharged for this, but soon obtained another engagement as a press operator in Cincinnati.
He had a carboy of it. He sprinkled it all around everywhere; in fact he drenched everything with it, rifle-box, cheese and all. Then we sat down, feeling pretty hopeful. But it wasn't for long. You see the two perfumes began to mix, and then well, pretty soon we made a break for the door; and out there Thompson swabbed his face with his bandanna and said in a kind of disheartened way,
We can carry it to the ship, or not, just as we think best; but you may bet your life we don't return to the Josephine! How does that strike you?" "Yes; but where are Cleats and Gage all this time? They know all about a vessel, if Carboy don't," suggested Herman. "Wherever you please," replied Little, confidently.
"Cephas Carboy's my name ain't much of a mister to it," and the man grinned feebly. "You're the man I want to see, Carboy," and the detective took a seat on a log close by. "Want to see me? What fer? I don't know you." "I want to see you about that Langmore murder." The shiftless man stared and withdrew his pipe from his mouth with trembling fingers. "I didn't have nuthin' to do with that.
The farm was a neglected one, the house about ready to tumble down, and in the dooryard were half a dozen dirty and ragged children, who scampered out of sight on the approach of a stranger. "Good morning," said Adam Adams cheerfully. He saw at a glance that the fellow before him was a thoroughly shiftless character. "Mornin' to you," was the short response. "This is Mr. Cephas Carboy?"
Carboy, and they regarded a couple of weeks in Paris and Switzerland, free from restraint, as ample compensation for the deprivation. "Let those laugh that win," said Herman, when Horne, one of the Faithful, ventured to sympathize with him in the misfortune of being left behind. "I don't see what you can win doing duty and learning your lessons on board of the Josephine," added Horne.
But I made no reply. I listened, and I listened coldly, and as I listened I knew why the English had blown their mutinous Sepoys from the mouths of cannon in India long years ago. And when, this morning, I saw the steward struggling with a five-gallon carboy of sulphuric acid, I never dreamed the use he intended for it.
It obviously came from a large carboy which had been smashed as if to draw attention to some urgent matter. The people in the room seemed to have frozen at their work, except that Brink had apparently been interrupted in some supervisory task. He was not working at any machine to clean, dye, dry, or press clothing.
