The principal thing in Erik's eyes was to reach the "Vega" as quickly as possible, in order to meet Patrick O'Donoghan without delay. The doctor and Mr. Bredejord warmly approved of his motives when he explained them to them. The work of preparing the "Alaska" was pushed on as rapidly as possible.
"Tell me," he said at length, "have you no other means of solving this mystery of his birth except by finding Patrick O'Donoghan?" "I know of no other," replied the doctor. "After years of searching I only found out that this O'Donoghan was in possession of the secret, that he alone could reveal it to me, and that is why I have advertised for him in the papers.
Tudor Brown raised his gun and shot Patrick O'Donoghan through the heart, who fell backward. Then before he had time to lower his rifle, Tudor Brown received a bullet in his forehead, and fell forward on his face. "I did well to come back when I saw suspicious footprints in the snow," said Mr. Hersebom, coming forward, his gun still smoking in his hands.
"I told you the other day; you know what I want to find out and what I have come so far to discover. Now, Patrick O'Donoghan, make a little effort and disclose to me this secret which is of so much importance to me, tell me what you know about the infant tied to the buoy. Give me the faintest indication of who I am, so that I may find my family. What do you fear?
Bredejord shook their heads, as if they hesitated to accept Erik's conclusions, when turning the box in his hands, he descried written in pencil the word "Albatross," which had doubtless been done by the person who had furnished the vessel with the beef. He pointed it out to his friends. "Tudor Brown has been here," he repeated, "and why should he come except to carry off Patrick O'Donoghan.
Tudor Brown had been ahead of him, he had succeeded in reaching the island first, and doubtless had carried off Patrick O'Donoghan. It was therefore hardly probable that they would succeed in finding him again.
All that resulted from this affair was the possession of the document, which legally proved the death of Patrick O'Donoghan. Was this paper of any value? This was the question that Mr. Bredejord could not help doubting, in spite of the evidence of the British consul at Stockholm, whom he questioned, and who declared that the signatures and stamp were perfectly authentic.
This would explain his precipitate flight, and why he had never returned to New York. It was important to find this detective, as well as Patrick O'Donoghan. Mr. and Mrs. Bowles, by referring to their books, were able to give the exact date of the Irishman's departure, which was four years, lacking three months; although they had previously believed that it was four or five years ago. Dr.
He was doubtless proud of knowing the country which had received him, and he had probably taken precautions to know all about the child, so that if any misfortune happened to him O'Donoghan Noah Jones would be obliged to pay him well for his silence. He was doubtless the person from whom he received money every time he landed in New York." "All this appears to me to be very probable," said Mr.
Now they had before them a man who was uninvited, and who had come to them, and declared that Patrick O'Donoghan was dead. And this man had forced his society upon the members of the expedition, as soon as his assertion in the most unexpected manner had been proved to be false.
