The killing of the boatswain in the Flagship Bar seemed significant, although I could not connect it with Meeker's plot against me, and I had to lay that episode aside until I saw it in its proper relation to the other parts. Standing near the lamp, I wrote down on a scrap of paper each event in its proper order, from my first sight of Meeker that morning as I arrived at the mole from Saigon.
Meeker's policy was that "work should go hand in hand and to some extent precede school education" an insight comprising much of the truth taught to-day by the more eminent leaders of industrial education, and one which the recent Indian legislation, during the fifty-seventh Congress, has recognized. Mr.
Meeker picked it up and handed it to me, but for the instant he held it he read the address: "My dear sir," said Meeker, "you have dropped a document allow me." "Thank you," I replied, and took the letter, which was quite bulky and sealed with a splotch of black wax imprinted with a coat of arms or a crest, or some such insignia. I fear I betrayed my irritation over Meeker's reading the address.
"I'm afraid he isn't a friend of mine," I said dubiously. "He didn't appear to take that view of it." "That's so," admitted the landlord. "But I don't know his name, and somebody's got to settle for that glass." I obliged the landlord with Mr. Meeker's name, and with the bestowal of this poor satisfaction returned to the interrupted meal.
"You're certain you know where you are going?" I asked him in an undertone. "No, I'm not," said Dicky frankly. "I've found a man who says he knows. We are to meet him. We'll get there between three and four o'clock. He won't say another word to anybody but her or you. I guess he knows what he is about." "Well, keep your eyes open. Meeker's gang is ahead of us. Is the driver reliable?"
When Meeker had gone, Isbel and his men sat their horses and looked about them and spoke low. Their advent had been expected, and the little town awoke to the imminence of the impending battle. Inside Meeker's house there was the sound of indistinct voices of women and the bustle incident to a hurried vacating.
She hasn't her like anywhere I've gone. She cuts a wide swath up here. Being an only child she's both son and daughter to McFarlane. She knows more about forestry than her father. In fact, half the time he depends on her judgment." Norcross was interested, but did not want to take up valuable time. He said: "Will you let me use your telephone to Meeker's?"
