"Tell him all," said Rosey, quickly, more alarmed at Renshaw's despairing face than at the news itself. "Tell him everything, Dick Mr. Renshaw; it may not be too late."
"All the same, I don't believe in this treasure," she said abruptly, as if to change the subject. "I don't believe it ever was hidden inside the Pontiac." "That can easily be ascertained now," said Renshaw. "But it's a pity you didn't find it out while you were about it," said Rosey. "It would have saved so much talk and trouble."

"I must go now," said Rosey hurriedly, rising with an awkward sense of constraint. "Father will wonder where I am." "I shall explain. I will accompany you, Mademoiselle." "No, no," said Rosey, quickly; "he must not know I have been here!" She stopped.
Speak out if you've got anything to say. You kin trust this yer Mr. Renshaw. He ain't the kind of man to creep into the bosom of a man's ship for pupposes of his own. He ain't a man that would hunt round until he discovered a poor man's treasure, and then try to rob " "Stop!" said Renshaw, with a set face and darkening eyes. "WHAT treasure?
