about them. Besides, there was no pre'eN an y
lndiaman could have for steering near enough
to such jungle OF mud anu water toElNe a
boat the chance OF making towards II win any
certainty. i saw at once that the spot IN ques
ton must lie toerally for the course Of ship
TO Western India otherwise they wouldn have
anooared 80 sure Of their mark as Jones said
t6ev did. All this, at the same time, kept me
the more bent on searching the matter out
ere | did aught else, seeing that in fact the
Indiaman's attempt to get rid of the
acbooner was the very thing likely TO bring her
on this track, fancying, as she weuld that wa
we're either in chase of her toward Bombay, or
on on our own course again. Now, on tho one
hand nothing could III better for the said run

other hand nothing would have pleased me
