to young sapling at the spot where
the body of Sir Andrew was found.
On the other side OF the path WAS a
narrow hole between the slabs of
granite. where a peg had lately been
driven in. The rushes about it we're
broken here and there. The conclu-
sion Of a spring gun was obvious.

The evidence against him seemed al

after he had set the trap. why had
he continued to risk discovery by

had he known that the spring gun was

loaded revolver? Why had he bor-
rowed the punt and reached the
island by so unexpected a manner?
Was he also afraid of some one or
some thing? My mind began to turn
from him to the second stranger, the
botanist with the collecting case. He
at least had information about the
setting of the gun.
There was still a further point.
Sir Andrew had been shot full in the
