AS soon as I was satisfied of his
good faith, and he proved it by his
knowledge of every circumstance
of the case, I told him my story.

nothing yet, although l made you

"And that is?"

aboard. Well let them have rope,
and just when things look rosiest
produce you. These ladies will
identify you; Sarabands have all
the threads of the conspiracy, and
We'll land the lot in states prison,
whenever it suits us. Yes, sir, they
are about fixed"
you say Sarabands have all the
threads. l haven't. What does it
