Well, he would befriend the Honorable Milt and Ferguson and Nickleby and Alderson by removing this little piece of election evidence from the reach of their opponents. That was a service which was cheap at the price. Yes, it was time to say a final farewell while the farewelling was good. He hunted up a time-table. They must be somewhere in the vicinity of Indian Creek by now.
'By the way, Hester, does thee know where the parcel of best bandanas is gone? There was four left, as I'm pretty sure, when I set off to Sandsend; and to-day Mark Alderson came in, and would fain have had one, and I could find none nowhere. 'I sold t' last to-day, to yon sailor, the specksioneer, who fought the press-gang same time as poor Darley were killed.
It was a problem which Podmore was forced to solve without consulting anyone. He could not go boldly to his supposed partners with his discovery; for thereby he would reveal to Nickleby and Alderson his own attempt at double dealing. That he had to be very careful what he did, Mr. Hughey Podmore realized, very careful indeed. For this mix-up held many possibilities for personal misfortune.
Appealed to on behalf of a man who had a wife and large family, and had been convicted of robbing his neighbours, "True," said Alderson "very true, it is a free country. Nothing can be more proper than that a man should have a wife and a large family; it is his due as many children as circumstances will permit.
"I meant only until we have beaten them." "What about the rest of the crew who are for us?" Miss Wallace asked. "We'll have to give them time to declare themselves." We obeyed orders at once, Alderson supporting Dugan, who was growing weak from loss of blood.
I gave the signal agreed upon between me and my men, but no answering flash of white replied to the wave of my handkerchief. Again I shook the piece of linen from the porthole, and at intervals for fully five minutes. Did Alderson see me? Or was there a reason why he could not answer? It was impossible they could have been captured without some sound having reached me.
Without looking at me she went straight to Blythe, who was sponging the wrist of Alderson. "You'll let me help, won't you?" she asked, with such sweet simplicity that I fell fathoms deeper in love. "Of course. You're our chief surgeon. Eh, Alderson?" The sailor grinned. Though he was a little embarrassed he was grateful for the addition to the staff.
Needless to say, Butler was shocked to the soul of him by this suggestive atmosphere which was supposed to include his daughter in its destructive reaches. Alderson motioned one of his detectives to get behind the woman between her and the door which he did. "Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Davis," he said, "but we are looking for a couple who are in your house here. We're after a runaway girl.
Alderson was on deck and I called him to us. He was a clean-cut seamanly fellow of about thirty. His blue eyes were frank and self-reliant. "My man, there's mutiny aboard. That's the short of it. Are you for us or against us?" "I'm for you, sir." "Good. We're going to beat the scoundrels, but there is going to be fighting." "Yes, sir." "Bully for you!" cried Yeager, and slapped him on the back.
He saw that she hesitated as if she had said too much. "You mean the fifty thousand dollars, stolen from the Alderson concern?" asked Phil quickly. "I was going to ask you about that. You mean that Mr. Wade really has that money? You can trust me, Miss Lawson. Surely you know that," he urged. "He said he was piecing together a puzzle of some kind and would tell me all about it soon.
