the coast. The sheriff said nothing
but smiled at the plantation man who,
In turn became insistent, stating that

The sheriff. when he had seen that
the plantation man had said all he was
likely to. answered.: IF you can tell
me where I can station my men to
keep guard over that vessel, l will be
only too happy to send officers there"
