Perrin," I said, "there is only one thing we can do to get some nitrate of silver at the earliest possible moment. Fortunately, the launch is here." "I will have it start at once," he said. "It will have to go to Key West." "And how long will that take?" "It depends upon the sea. In good weather it takes us eight hours to go and return." I could not repress a shudder.
As the murder of Perrin had created great indignation among the half-breeds, and the feeling about it was increasing, the Company resolved to clear the matter up by having the supposed murderer tried. Duncan was accordingly lodged in one of the bastions of Fort Garry, where, when visited by the Governor, he firmly denied his guilt.
